Don't feel guilty - perhaps if there were more there - they provided a quick snack to some hungry wild animal.......just kidding! It was a cute little kitty -...
The Whooping Crane (#712 - Class of 2007) was observed this morning (10/27) in the refuge (in Crex!) off main dike road. It is with a group of sandhill...
This is one of the three from last year isnt it? If so, having it return to the area two years in a row is a good sign that the meadows may become a yearly...
Lol about satisfied customer. Has anyone gotten pics of 712 this year? Adventure is not outside,its within ... From: satisfied customer <kimdauer@...> ...
I have one taken a couple of weeks ago in a farm field east of FLWA. Not a great pic but at least you can tell what it is. I wonder...is this the first...
How did they verify it was 712? Been to Fish lake area twice in the last month but never sighted the whooper:(. Was told about it though. Adventure is not...
It is the first sighting of this crane in Crex. I think there was a crane there a few years ago...but it didn't stay around. I wonder if I will be posting...
That's a horrible pic! But it does show that it is a whooper. ... From: Agogo <agogomalawi@...> Subject: Re: [CrexMeadowsNatureLovers] Re: #712 Still...
Kim the last two e-mail you sent came as Kim not satisfied. I imagine the International Crane foundation will not be happy the 712 is still with Sandhills....
The numbers in Crex have been slightly down - the count this morning that the crew did will likely show that. We are thinking that the lack of water in their...
Check with Shurburn National Wildlife Refuge. I heard they had an unusual group of a few thousand. I suspect that with their numbers it may establish part of...
Anyone heard any reports from Carlos Avery? Adventure is not outside,its within ... From: richpeet <richpeet@...> Subject: [CrexMeadowsNatureLovers]...
... It counts. If you can ID the bird/butterfly/fleeing mammal, it counts and is a fair ball (for a verifiable sighting). I think Agogo should enter it in the...
LOL..maybe there will be a new photo contest category next year. "A barely recognizable subject, extremely cropped, taken at the furthest distance", ... From:...
It should be called for verifications purposes only. Rule number one grab ID shot rule two then take time for better shot if you get one. Adventure is not...
I agree with Howard...ID is a good thing...hehehe...if Agogo enters pics like that in the contest as "greatest shots" then I would be able to place with some...
Yes Howard, that's a good category. Boy I have tons of photos that I could enter in that one. ... From: Howard Cutter <howardcutter@...> Subject: Re:...
I have a lot I could add too...and there are a lot of things I didn't get either...like the Ivory Billed Woodpecker...that really sucked too...landed right on...
... A friend just sent a picture of two whoopers taken recently near Waseca, MN, if that helps. The resolution wasn't enough to see the leg bands, but...
Carlos Avery Wildlife refuge is between Wyoming and Ham Lake Mn. Wondered if anyone had been there recently because it is a know Sandhill area. Would be...
Hi All: I was planning a ride up to the Meadows and wondered if there is a better place to view the cranes leaving the meadows for the farm fields. Anywhere...
Grettum has the most cranes and they fly south across the road about sunrise. Others head east and west but the south flying birds are much lower at Grettum...
Please get your images to me Friday at the latest so I can have them ready for the meeting on Sat. morning at 10A, at the visitor center. The images do not...
