[birdky] Re: Sandhill cranes

We must have just missed you, Linda. Janet and I stopped at a few spots near
the Peninsula and the dam, turning up a nice mixture of waterfowl,
including:

6 black ducks,

2 widgeon

15 canvasbacks

5 redheads

2 n. shovelers

mallards (many)

 

We got to the fields near the Narrows about 4:15, and cranes were pouring
into the area by the hundreds. I did not attempt to count, but there were
easily 1000 birds. Linda is right, they afford great views right by the side
of the road.

There were 200 + Sandhill cranes near the Narrows at Barren River Reservoir
this afternoon around 3:30 pm, in fields very close to the roadway.  There
is a Bed & Breakfast there that says the birds are consistently in the corn
fields in & around their place everyday now.  So, if you want an up & close
experience with Sandhill cranes, that would be the place to go for a
dependable sighting up close.            Linda Craiger / Glasgow
