Observation details

Or MORE. The first flock we heard, then saw, was at LEAST 530 cranes, then one of 30, another of an estimated 180, all circling and flying south. Wow! We checked the bird hotlines when we returned home and found that others had seen large numbers of cranes pouring south along the front range today, too.
