Observation details
Continuing rarity first spotted on the 4th. I relocated it at the 'wetland roost' using my binoculars at 7:15am. The Common Crane was roosting near the center of a SACR flock. Local birder Jim Moseley asked me to put his scope on the bird and kindly invited the other 6 or so birders and photographers to have a look. Near 7:30 it flew a lazy circle around the flock much to the delight of the photographers, settling in the open for fantastic close looks!! At 7:35 it flew off heading NE.
