Hi folks,

Given recent events, I'm going to be exceedingly vague here... in the last week, I was fortunate enough to see 3 Whooping Cranes in North Georgia.  I did report all information, including coordinates, to Operation Migration.

During a brief stop en route to somewhere else, I was watching a large group of Sandhills when these guys flew by me.  Talk about lucky.

As a reminder, if you see any cranes - even ones whose location is already known - at the Operation Migration website:  http://www.operationmigration.org

As an additional reminder, if you are able to see any identifying markings FROM A LONG DISTANCE and without approaching the birds, that information, even partial, is valuable to them.

Cheers,
