Hi Nancy, I was out yesterday on a birding tour in the snow, and could not find evidence of any cranes! Much of the wetlands, especially the shallow ones, are iced over here. I expect that with this weekend’s warmer temps, that will melt. I don’t know though if they’ve taken off for the winter!
I checked Sandhill Crane Unit on VanDyne Spoor Road, Knox Marsellus Marsh on East Road, and the Refuge visitor center flooded field. No cranes. Also checked the usual corn fields I can find them in. Someone did report to me that they saw a few on the Route 31 Muck Flats somewhere, but not sure exactly when or where. Curious if others are seeing them!
