[cobirds] Sandhill Crane (and more) [Wellington SWA, Wellington, Larimer]

Hi all

While commuting to work along Larimer CR 64 (aka Nunn Road aka Weld CR 100) at Wellington SWA this morning there were 20 Sandhill Crane in cultivated field on south just before frontage road.  A few of them were gleefully dancing picking up corn stalk and cow manure and flinging it (video) about.

Yesterday, while traversing Weld County I saw a Mute Swan at Arrowhead Lake; Ring-billed Gull frenzy at Woods Lake;  Yellow-rumped Warbler along Beebe Draw; our two active Great Horned Nests near my house are doing well; our contingent of Ring-necked Pheasant continue to visit our yard and chow down; two Snow Goose at Neff Lake; and a "zillion" loafing Ring-billed Gull (I took 11 photos of entire flock at link below) at Latham Reservoir Marsh.  Horned Lark was nice enough to stay and sing for me.

No plover or burrowing owl anywhere yet.

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
