At 5:48 PM, we had 800 to 1,200 sandhill cranes flying overhead.
We are 3 miles west of Lyons, and they were heading South (duh) and
a little westish.Maybe heading for the water behind the dam at Nederland
for the night??? Or maybe veering back east to Golden, etc.

Hi all!
A friend of mine sent me this picture and I can't figure out what species
I'm looking at. My first thought was common crane because of the colors on
the wings but they don't normally live around here, do they? Perhaps it got
caught up with some sandhill cranes?
Any ideas are appreciated!
ie)
7 points for a confusing name that sounds like another (Yellow-throats
anyone?)
AND my favorite
10 points for a name longer than the bird itself, NORTHERN BEARDLESS
TYRANNULET!

Also, Friday, 10/2, while playing golf in Fort Lupton, we had 7 or 8 flocks
of sandhill cranes, mostly circling to gain altitude, between 11 and
12:15. Probably 450 total individuals. Always a great sound to hear
unexpectedly.
