Observation details

Flock after flock has been passing over bartel ahead of the big storm and cold weather expected in a couple days. I took several photos of different flocks as well as video of one that was directly above my head. One large flock had slightly more than 100. There were a few flocks that were identical in size as well as several others that were slightly smaller consisting of anywhere between 50-75. Honestly I wanted to say over 1000 but didnt want to seem like I was exaggerating. I didnt start observing or counting until several flock passed me by already. Thats when I started to realize they’re really on the move because of the incoming weather. A couple credible birders were onsite as well and I believe their numbers could have very well exceeded 1000 cranes because they were there well before me.
