["Anthony & Shannon" <trimboli@xxxxxxxxx>]

As of 1:15 PM CST there were several hundred sandhill cranes feeding in
fields along KY HWY 70 at the Barren-Metcalfe county line.  All of the
cranes I observed were on the right side of the road as you travel east.
Many were within 150 yards of the road.  There were also some mixed dabblers
in the more flooded spots.  The cranes were scattered over a large area
making a number estimate hard, but there were at least several hundred.
This was the largest concentration of feeding cranes I have seen yet in KY.
