Large flock of Sandhill Cranes, Fort Collins, Larimer Co.

[Matt Webb]

Hey all,

There is currently (as of 11:40am, friday) a large flock of Sandhill Cranes flying south over Fort Collins.  A friend on CSU campus and I (from my home just east of campus) saw at least 75 birds quite high, but after they were gone, I could hear more flying over but could not find them. 

The flocks were headed directly south and should cross Loveland and I'd assume Longmont and Niwot as well!

Good luck viewing them!

Thanks, Matt! It would be cool if other birders farther south listen for this flock and post

up to the minute reports as the flock tracks south!

 Then I can go outside at the precise moment they fly over chilly Denver and get back inside by the cozy fireplace right away!

Joe Roller, 

Denver

Nancy heard probably the same flock around 10:30 to 10:45 am this morning here in the high foothills 40 miles northwest of Fort Collins but could not see them as we are in the clouds up here at 8000 feet.  She said the flock was heading southeast, which would take it toward Fort Collins.
