Two Sandhill Cranes were observed on the east side of Wapato Marsh between 1030
and 1130 this morning. They were easily visible from the road in the area of
the bird blind on the west side of the marsh. They were foraging and preening
in very close proximity to one another. Efforts made to see them in same
general area around 2:30pm were not successful. Sandhill Cranes have been
observed flying over the Bottom before during spring or fall migrations but
previously the only on-the-ground record we have is of 3 birds in Nov. 2012
(apologies, I don't have the name of that observer handy). Laura Trunk first
spotted the birds this morning.
