Cranes are Rocking and Rolling Overhead

Mid day seems to be the time that many migrating birds arrive in Monte Vista  from Bosque. I figure if they lift off around 8:00 ish and have decent tail wind, they will arrive at Monte Vista a few hours later. So today, mid day, the skies are alive with croaks and whistles as birds in the stratosphere seem to be circling downward for this next stop. 

Quite exhilarating. 

A non crane question for the group. I thought I heard that Clark's Grebe and Western have been combined. Is that true?
