Saw the Common Crane this afternoon at the playa on CR 1181, just east of
214. Looking from the road, the heat shimmer was awful, so a gentleman
from Kenefick talked to the owner of the nearby farm house and received
permission for us to come onto his land to get a little closer to the
birds. The owner was hospitable and asked that no one drive onto his
property. He also asked that no one light a match/lighter/cigarette in
order to prevent a grass fire.
From the slightly closer location, the heat shimmer was not as bad and we
watched the bird for over an hour as it moved it's head up and down
preening. There was a group of eleven birders that saw the crane before we
left, including a couple from Colorado and one birder from Arizona.
The owner did NOT give, nor imply, blanket permission to all birders to
enter his property. Please show respect by asking permission.
Happy birding!
