Hi All-- Erika and I enjoyed a marvelous Friday drive to Sherburne NWR. While we did not see all 5352 cranes counted by refuge personnel, we did see several hundred. We were surprised that we could get fairly close to the birds (although, when viewing cranes, we remained in the car). Photographs are on my blog: http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com
Our total bird list on the refuge was 25. The best non-crane species--several Rusty Blackbirds at the refuge headquarters. dan -- Dan or Erika Tallman Northfield, Minnesota http://sites.google.com/site/tallmanorum http://dantallmansbirdblog.blogspot.com http://picasaweb.google.com/danerika daner...@gmail.com ".... the best shod travel with wet feet" "Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes ...."--Thoreau ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
