The annual fall crane survey at Ridgefield NWR gave me an opportunity to
count at Campbell Lake, the primary night roost south of the River S Unit.
It was dark enough to quit at 7pm after we counted 1200 coming in to wet
their feet for the night. Also were 173 Great Egrets and 1 SNOWY EGRET.
Hoping that it will show up along the auto tour route tomorrow.
