 Sandhill cranes at the Class of 1918 Marsh, with view toward University Bay. Photo Arlene Koziol ,Koziol On her walk along Lakeshore Path on March 5, Arlene Koziol spotted two sandhill cranes at the marsh, fairly close to the location of the big snow pile. She believes they had just arrived from their arduous migration because she could approach them very closely while they were foraging for worms in the soft ground. Please look up Arlene's Flickr site for some short movies.

Cranes are fun birds to look - and listen - for on a March Birding Walk at the UW Lakeshore Nature Preserve! They are large and easy to spot even without binoculars and their trumpeting call can be heard a long ways. Look for the pair Arlene Koziol photographed in the marsh and open spaces near the Picnic Point parking lot. Another pair frequents the area up the hill around the Biocore Prairie and Eagle Heights Gardens. Leave a Reply. |
