?While there evidently birds south and west of the refuge early, there were 
none most of the day.  I arrived at Paul's Lake about 8 and there were no 
birds.  Extensive searching throughout the morning northeast and northwest 
yielded no cranes on the ground.  Paul's Lake between 12-2 had about 10 flocks, 
but none landed. Around 3 one flock landed, stayed about 10 min and left.  Late 
afternoon searched south and west - no birds on the ground. Paul's Lake at 5- 
no birds.

Now they could have all stayed away because I was there.  I have had three 
unsuccessful searches for this species dating back to the 1980s.


So if anyone sees it tomorrow morning, would love a call.  The folks that I 
exchanged phone #s with (except for one) were all leaving.
