[Birdtalk] jordan river 5600 south

[geoff hardies]

I had a pleasant trip this morning.  The Green Heron is still at the little pond on the north side.  A flock of 30 Sandhill Cranes were overhead, they circled for at least five minutes before entering into a V formation and heading south.  I guess they were arguing over whose turn it was to lead.  

I was surprised with a short look at a Red-napped Sapsucker before it took off.  

The American Robins and Yellow-rumped Warblers were out in force.  Hellen Keller could have found Robins they were so numerous.  The only other warbler was what I thought was a first year Yellow.  Being on the other side of the river the view was not the finest.
