Thank you, Don. I think we’ll see if we can roust ourselves and do this. I remember it really being more exciting than the evening fly in. As you say, hearing and watching the marsh wake up is an amazing experience!

Robyn and I haven't been out there for morning lift off in a few years. Normally the cranes will leave the night roost within a half hour of sunrise to head out to feed. We would normally position ourselves there at least an hour before sunrise to hear the marsh "wake up." Back when there were 1000s of cranes using Haehnle as a night roost, the noise as the animals in the marsh woke up was incredible to experience.

Many years ago, we went out there to watch them take off in the AM. That was a spectacular sight also! Does anyone know what time they are leaving now?

Over 1000! Next year, when I’m retired, I’m going to come in see this. Meanwhile, we still have groups of three and four all around the neighborhood here in Hamburg Township.
