Probable Common Crane at Muleshoe NWR

[SeEttaM .]

This has been posted in Texas with solid birders saying it is likely wild:

<<At 3:25 PM this afternoon, I discovered an apparent pure adult Common Crane
associating with roughly 4,000 Sandhill Cranes on Goose Lake at Muleshoe
NWR. It didn't appear to have any leg bands, so I'm leaning wild origin,
which isn't all that surprising given the number of Lessers in the area
from summering locales in Siberia. However, pending acceptance from the
TBRC, it will be a first state record for Texas! For now I have posted 2
photos on my Flickr page.

As the crane flies, the west Texas Common Crane is directly south of Colorado right now.  Might have crossed Colorado to get to Texas.  Might be coming back this way next spring.  Something to keep in mind!
