Welcome back to the Sandhill Cranes as the fly south over eastern Colorado, including the front range cities. They are indeed majestic birds and an impressive sight. From the various posts yesterrday, clearly conditions were ideal for their migration. Over the next couple weeks many more flocks will be overflying our communites in the eastern half of Colorado. At the risk of offending, I wish to simply remind the listserve participants that these flights are normal and that we probably do not need to receive an email about each flock or sighting, now that the flights have begun (perhaps others have a different view on this point). However, each one of these flocks should be closely inspected for the proverbial "needle in a haystack": the exceedingly rare Whooping Crane that wanders this far west, or a vagrant Common Crane! Those would of great interest to many if not all of us.
