Nebraska/Indiana Common Crane

[Ben S]

Hello all,

A Common Crane was seen by several people outside of Kearney, Nebraska on the 20th and 21st (a couple people reported 2!). It may be the same bird that was seen Indiana a couple of weeks ago. I was hesitant to post, I know we don't want posts about birds outside of Colorado unless they have something to do with Colorado birding. I decided to post because if they were to follow the direction they seem to be heading in (Indiana to Nebraska), they would hit Colorado. Many people might not have heard about it, and due to the fact it appears they have just left Kearney, there is a possibility they could come here within several days. I suggest people keep an eye out while birding over the next few days, I know I will be!
