[cobirds] The Chorus of Cranes

Well of chorus I would have to get you the latest news on the San Luis Valley cranes. Both yesterday and today, the skies have been alive as cranes are entering the Valley. Most of the time, they are calling from very high up and hard to see. But the show has begun and it is getting exciting. 

This winter we had an unusually high number winter over. Wife Lisa had about 200 at Blanca Wetlands most of the winter. Scattered groups elsewhere as well. But it seems that the rest are starting to arrive from points south. 

No water is yet running on the MV NWR yet but I expect that to happen soon...maybe next week. Other notable arrivals are hundreds of Cackling Geese at Home Lake...arriving in the past week.
