9/30/05″At about 10:00 this morning there were over 100 Sandhill Cranes at Hamilton Marsh! I counted three times and came up with about 106 individuals. They were moving around quite a bit, so not positive exactly how many, but certainly over 100. They were still there when I left around 11:00.The sound was magnificent!”
