I headed out to Othello yesterday, the pass was wonderful.? I headed down to Corfu Road around 4:30 and only saw about 50 Sandhill Crane flyovers betwwen then and 6:20.? I saw a congregation of about 100 cranes near the saltwater ponds off of 26 aound 4pm?? Does anyone know the best morning and evening area to watch the cranes?

I also headed to look for Burrowing Owls around Cunningham and LeMaster and tanked there.? At the traditional spot, they seem to have huge irrigation machinery.? Any tips on owls also would be appreciated..

Thanks,
