One more note about cranes:

As populations of eastern Sandhill Cranes continue to expand, more and
more research and banding interest is being directed at these birds.
The result is that there is many more color marked birds in the
population.  I received the request for observations below.  I’m sure
the researchers would appreciate any observations of marked cranes you
can provide.

Everyone:

As we are about to embark on the fall crane survey, coordinated by the
USFWS, I thought that it would be useful to remind you that there are
a growing number of auxiliary-marked (i.e. color-banded) cranes out
there.  If you or your colleagues see banded birds you can go to
www.bandedcranes.org to find out who might have banded the bird that
was seen and find out how to submit your sightings.  If we get
observations of color-marked birds from anyone we will do our best to
link them up with the growing number of banders who are out there.
The banders will, in turn, be happy to respond with some detail of
what individual bird might have been seen and it's history.  If you
have any questions or comments please give me a holler or write.


Thanks much for your consideration and have fun counting.

Sincerely yours,
