Re: [cayugabirds-l] cranes at MNWR

2020-12-10 Thread Nancy Cusumano 
There were 53 cranes in the pool by the visitor center. We got great looks
and got to see them preening and dancing. There are a huge number of geese
and swans behind this small pool, I was very surprised at the number of
swans, as I first mistook them for snow geese.

Several small groups of cranes flew off while we were there, there were 30+
still there when we left. Very glad we made the drive, it was just what my
heart needed today.

Thanks!

Nancy

On Tuesday, in the early afternoon there were about 65 cranes at the visitor 
center pool.  When I came back around 3:30 there weren’t any.

RE: [cayugabirds-l] cranes at MNWR

2020-12-10 Thread Johnson, Alyssa 
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!

Alyssa

there were about 100 SACRs on the ice at Knox and another 30 or so in the
air. David Marsh

Not sure Nancy.
We stopped doing surveys for the season last week. If you're going, check
ebird and at the Refuge check the visitor Center pool, east rd. (Knox
Marcellus and Puddler marshes), sandhill crane unit (van dyne-spoor rd.),
and Armitage rd.
Good luck. Hope ya see some!
