Yesterday at least 5 flocks of cranes flew over our house, most of them a mere 100, but one that spent 5 minutes swirling overhead had 650 in it. Today 3 flocks -- one seen with about 75 cranes.

And with the cold temperatures, we spent only 2 hours outside - late morning - and didn't pick up any. Our coup for that walk: a Golden-crowned Kinglet that we both saw clearly. Several flocks of Bushtits, and we have about a dozen White-crowned Sparrows on our driveway & yard.
