In the fall of 2008, 3 endangered Whooping Cranes were spotted at Fish Lake SWA and in the fall of 2009 one of those 3 returned to roost at Crex Meadows with the Sandhills. Currently there are estimated to be around 17,000 Sandhills in the area. During the day they go out to feed in the surrounding fields so as I'm driving around, I'm scanning the fields hoping to catch another sighting of a Whooper. This Sandhill in a field near County Road M south of Crex made me look twice.
