Ok thanks! Tons of them migrate out to the area right adjacent to Takoha Lake
in the late fall and winter there. That might be where it’s from.

Len, it's right before you get to Scott"s Manufactoring. I'm not good at
directions once I get turned around out there.

not a good picture but it does allow for us to see some of the red on his head.
I'm thinking that with our wind storms last month, this little guy might have
gotten lost. I know they are supposed to show up in Muleshoe sometime in Feb.

Len, that I don't know about. But several confirmed seeing it last night. My
husband first saw it while going to work Saturday night. I have another pic of
the red on his head. I'll need to reduce it first.

Monty and I went back out at 7:30 am today and the immature crane was still
there. We parked on the southside of the playa and walked out as far as we
could. I don't really know how to size down to send. Hope this goes
through. Melody
