Just a reminder in case you've put it off and forgotten.....
Whitewater Draw Wildlife Area is currently hosting thousands of Sandhill
Cranes. Midmorning, between 10 and 11 am they return from their morning
foraging among the nearby agriculture fields and come to rest in the
shallow waters of the draw. They arrive in waves, first just a few, then
hundreds, finally in unfathomable vees of calling, honking, chittering
cranes.
Additionally, at noon yesterday there were also thousands of cranes to be
seen loafing in the shallows of the Lake Cochise Wildlife Viewing Area
adjacent to the Twin Lakes golf course in Willcox.
