We (Zack Couch and myself) saw 135 sandhill cranes today (February 9, 2007) as 
we were traveling North on KY 55 just south of Campbellsville (Gazetteer page 
66, block C-5).  We noticed them while traveling North on KY 55 about a tenth 
of a mile or two South of the junction with 1625 & 3183, near Green River Lake 
State Park.

We saw them circle about as they came over the trees.  They caught thermals for 
a while and were then on their way South.  They came up over the trees at about 
4:45-5:00 PM.  We tried swinging by Green River Lake and several spots close to 
where we'd seen them come over the tree line but we were unable to find any 
still on the ground.
