sandhill crane at Pool Slough IA 116A4114
A few miles south of Brownsville where all the tundra swans were staging, sandhill cranes were piling into Pool Slough, another premier wetland complex with excellent waterfowl viewing opportunities. I could see about 100 sandhill cranes from where I was standing and there were many more scattered throughout the vast refuge. These sandhill cranes will feed and rest here until things really freeze up and force them south to their wintering territory in Florida.
