Observation details

Traveling south on Center Rd from the Arkansas River, Lat 35.1398 Long -93.0611 at 1:15 P.M. looking to the west we saw seven Sandhill cranes walking along an uncut area in a field. We knew the bird id from sightings at Yellowstone NP. When I checked the Holla Bend NWR Bird List it only showed rare for spring (March-May). Today’s date is 7th February. Six were of the slate gray color and one had brownish wings. When we circled back by, at 2:30 P.M., they were sitting in the tall grasses.
