Between the hours of 2:00 PM and 3:35 PM, I saw 6 flights of Sandhill Cranes 
totaling 582.  The first group of 285 was high, thermaling once.  The next was 
105.  As the wind became stronger and shifted from NW to NNW and the clouds 
started boiling--the groups got progressively smaller in numbers and farther to 
the east.  The last group of 30 was having a hard time staying together.
