[cobirds] Sandhill Cranes Boulder foothills

I left home at dawn and spent all morning in eastern Boulder County trying in vain to find Sandhill Cranes.  Ted Floyd in the field and Cheryl at home had to listen to my whining about it.  Then, back home at 1 pm, Cheryl yelled from our yard, "David, I hear birds!!"  I estimated about 300 seen from my driveway looking west most likely over Lefthand Canyon and Olde Stage Road.  I'll be able to get an exact count when I look at my photos.  They were progressing slowly to the south as they were working on gaining altitude over the foothills and forming and reforming blobs and V's.  Love that sound!
