Greetings All: I just got off the phone with Justin Bosler. The Common Crane was, as we spoke, at Paul's Lake at Muleshoe NWR. This is the lake on the east side of the refuge and is the major gathering site for cranes at the refuge. The bird was seen, at about 10:30 the morning, off the refuge - somewhere along 3397 - a north-south running road several miles east of the refuge, best accessed from FM 298. Folk looking for the bird should be aware that cranes move about eastern Bailey County a fair bit during the day and focus their efforts on the refuge at peak gathering times.
