We expect cranes here through about April 15. Today around 2-3 pm at roosts
there were 1200+ south of Royal City and 1400+ SE of the Corfu farm fields,
along Crab Creek (visible from Lower Crab Creek Road, but quite distant.)
There are probably another 1000+ at Scooteney Reservoir, about 10 miles
south of Othello off Highway 17 in Franklin County. There were also some
heading to roost this morning west of Dodson Road near the Winchester
Wasteway (south of I-90.)
