This October the cranes are really spread out and it's hard to find a consistent location, except the corn fields, to view and photograph them. They seem to move roost sites frequently. Flight photography is best on East Refuge Rd. as they fly in and out of the Refuge. Grettum has the highest numbers and either parking lot along 87 or near the lone oak along Grettum Rd. are good spots to get a few flight shots.
Flocks of ducks are starting to show up and I expect the crane numbers to dramatically increase over the next couple weeks. Corn harvest south of Grantsburg will give better viewing of flight paths to and from the Refuge. The dispersion of the flocks is good for the cranes but frustrating for us.
