Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sandhill Cranes at Knox
We had a nice flock of about 350 cranes fly over us on our Friday survey on the Tschache Pool dike. They semed to be coming from Armitage Rd. way. We could hear the high-pitched vocalizations of the colts. Only other place I've heard that is at the Rowe Sanctuary in Gibbon, Nebraska.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Sandhill Cranes at Knox-Marcellus
Late yesterday afternoon I saw maybe 100 sandhill cranes just to the west of Olmsted Road, north of Armitage Road. As it was getting dark, they took in small groups flying southwest.
