Arrived before dawn at Crex and watched a beautiful sunrise before clouds
came in.  We saw 9 species of sparrows including the Nelson's which we
found on East Refuge Rd. southeast of the pump house. Hundreds of Sandhill
Cranes were everywhere on the refuge. Lots of Canada Geese and 6 species of
ducks, coot all over and several families of Trumpeter Swans. Pished out an
American Bittern while looking for sparrows.  Had a Merlin, kestrels,
harrier, and several Bald Eagles. The only warblers we found were Palms
flitting ahead of us on the dike roads.
