Hi All-- Here is the deal: a farmer told an acquaintance who told John Holden that he has a pair Sandhill Cranes in his field and that they fledged two young in 2010. John and I went to investigate this morning and we did find a single male Sandhill Crane flying low over pasture and land near a wetland. The location is approximately 3 miles WNW of the Northfield Hospital in Dakota Co. John and I will obtain permission to trespass and we will monitor the cranes. Meanwhile I have entered this record into the Breeding Bird Survey as a definite breeding record as I believe the report from last year is correct.
