Dad and I stumbled across three sandhill cranes today in our wanderings. They were in a field on the south side of the road, behind some irrigation pipe, just east of the intersection of 33 and M east of Cortez. The nearest residence was 33192 County Road M.

Other birds of interest included a light phase ferruginous hawk south of Totten along the highway, and three separate sightings of juniper titmouse, two in Montezuma and one in Dolores County. While titmice are not unusual birds for this area, I don't actually SEE them that often. http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk296/Paoniabirds/titmouse102609.jpg The Hills' snow goose was at Denny Lake again the yesterday but not this morning.
