Went to the subj places yesterday looking for the Sandhill Cranes and Red
Breasted Nuthatches that had been reported on this medium. Didn't find
either of them but had a surprisingly good bird day given the weather so
thought I would pass the results on. No lifers for me but had a good time
nonetheless.
Oh, I stopped counting after 25 for some species.
