Cranes over Littleton

[Scott Somershoe]

A bit ago I had about 34 Sandhills over my house in Littleton JeffCo. Normally this is not that noteworthy but I still needed them for the Joe Roller Memorial Green big year. I’ve seen cranes around town but none counted for the green year. I got lucky and caught movement way up high while playing with the boys in the yard (unplanned day off) and managed to get on them. The birds were hauling south with the big north wind. I never heard them. It was about time I got cranes! #268.

I’ve heard reports of large numbers still being in Montana so I held out hope that I wouldn’t miss that one! Cutting it too close but it’s been a weird warm fall with minimal north winds.

Good birding!
