After 3 days of searching, we were happy to finally see the Common Crane this 
morning at about 8:45 a.m.  Justin Bosler was with us at the time.

From the intersection of FM 1731 and 298, go north on 1731 about 1 mile until 
you see a large pond on the right (east).  "Strings" of cranes often fly east 
to west over the pond as they head for the milo field on the west side of the 
road, where many have been feeding of late.  Some early mornings large numbers 
of cranes often congregate right in the pond.

This morning we spotted the Common Crane flying west over the pond area, with 
flocks of Sandhills also flying past.  We got identifiable flight shots.
