Sandhill Cranes

It has been a long time since I've put a new bird on my annual bird list.  I need to get out bird watching again.  I'm tempted to see the gathering/staging area of the sandhill cranes at the Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge soon.  The refuge is offering sandhill crane tours on Oct. 15 and 22 at 6:30 in the morning.  The cranes roost together at night and we can watch them leaving the roosting area in the morning to forage for the day.  I am tempted to go and watch.
