Sandhill Crane/Wellington

[The "Nunn Guy"]

I found 8 Sandhill Crane (http://coloradobirder.ning.com/photo/albums/sandhill-crane-wellington) on way home last night at Larimer CR 11/Larimer CR 70 (go west .5m to ponds) then my wife and I drove back out near dusk and watched 50-60 more cranes fly into Poudre Reservoir #3 west shore.  It was beautiful--silence except their calls--and seeing them fly in against black mountain canvas in the fainting light of the day.

They were not present this morning 0730 ... :-(

Other news ... Crom Lake had carp die-off (freezing on/off) lots of gulls eating carcasses--including Herring Gull ... flock of 10 Mountain Bluebird at WCR 88/WCR 25.

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
