To test whether the reports of Sandhill Cranes migrating over Portland could
be seen in Yamhill County (where the species is really hard to find) I went
to the east end of Parrett Mt., then Chehalem Mt. from 12:25 - 3:25 this
afternoon. The vantage point has a great view of Wilsonville all the way to
Mt. Hood.
Result:
No cranes
I've done a couple watches from there previously with the same result.
Carol & I did see 6 Sandhill Cranes flying over Burgerville in Newburg on
Mar. 4, 2007.
