I heard/saw only 3 Sandhill Cranes at my location for the Houston Co. Crane Count this morning, but the dawn chorus was excellent, including at about 5:45 AM songs & calls by the following species:
Ring-n. Pheasant Wild Turkey Sora Rail Greater Yellowlegs Wilson's Snipe Great Horned Owl Barred Owl Whip-poor-will (2) Yellow-bellied Sapsucker E. Phoebe House Wren E. Bluebird Brown Thrasher E. Towhee Chipping, Field, Savanna, Song, & Swamp Sparrows Yellow-headed Blackbird The whips were especially welcome members of the chorus.
