Observation details
Stakeout first found on 5 March 1999 by Tammy VerCauteren. Bird refound by Ross Silcock the following day and by Stephen Dinsmore on 9 March. I went with others the next weekend. Following the initial sightings, the Common Crane was seen by many observers in the same general area until March 26 (Loren and Babs Padelford, Nebraska Birdline). This was the 12th acceptable sighting in North America, although it is possible that as few as 6 individuals were involved in these sightings. While some believed that this bird was unusually pale for a Common Crane, I did not have that impression in the field. At the time, however, I had no experience at all with Common Crane.
