Sandhill Crane at Willow Lake

[Rowe, Richard A, 'Dick']

Many thanks to Allen Larner for alerting us about a Sandhill Crane at Willow Lake.  I headed up this afternoon and found the crane along the shoreline the inflow end.  It was best viewed from across the lake.  Also, there were 3 Greater White-fronted Geese, 2 Ross' Geese and a bunch of Gadwalls and Canada Geese.  A blue phase Snow Goose was seen by Allen and also by John Pancake - I did not see it.

On the front pond at McCormick's Farm there was 1 female Northern Shoveler.
