Trio of Sandhills today in Douglas County
Barbara Spagnuolo
Around 11:30 am today, I spotted a trio of Sandhill Cranes slowly circling above while I was in SE Castle Rock, Douglas County. The circled around a few times before gradually flying off to the south. I didn’t catch any flocks migrating through this fall, but I wasn’t expecting to see any in this area this late in the season, so it was quite an unexpected but welcomed treat. I even heard the classic rattling bugle call from one of the birds.
