[cobirds] Diminishing Cranes

Just got back from a spring break with the fam to SE Arizona and trying to get caught up. A morning trip to the Monte Vista Refuge shows that crane numbers have vastly decreased in the last week, and only a few hundred here and there were to be found. Geese still seem fairly abundant with 3-5000 Cackling, Canada, Snow, and Ross's geese still present. A lone Greater Yellowlegs was standing on the edge of the ice and looked a bit confused since the zero temps of last night re-froze so much of the former open water. Yellow-headed Blackbirds arrive about April 1st!
