Observation details
Largest numbers were in the cornfield immediately east of the first observation platform, seen well from this observation platform and then even better at the end of the auto loop, after ending this list. Also several hundred in the mowed cornfield just northeast of the second observation platform. At the first observation platform, I (ACB) was confused by a rattling call that I thought was going to be a longspur, but after a few minutes of looking around frantically, I came to the conclusion that this call was coming from the cranes—it seemed to be a weak, raspy version of their usual bugling call. It is audible starting at 0:57 in this recording.
