For those of you who might be coming up to Sherburne Refuge/county for crane viewing this weekend - in the afternoon - there were HUNDREDS of cranes in the air along CRs 3 and 11 between 5:15 and 5:45 p.m. returning to the refuge to roost for the night. Quite a spectacular sight.
Sunrise viewing, I bet, will be best along CR 3, just north and east of the community of Santiago. Those corn fields have been harvested this week - some still in progress - so lots of foraging opportunities for the cranes there. Bailey Ray's in Santiago has breakfast starting at 9:00 p.m. AND coffee... (I'm not getting any kick-backs. Just like hot coffee in the mornings).
