Nov 10, 2008-Arrived at viewing platform shortly after sunset. Cranes well back in the field. Not enough light for flight images as they arrived, so I converted images to grayscale. Numbers estimated in excess of 10,000.

Nov 11, 2008-Sunrise on a completely overcast morning did not provide much light for the type of images I had hoped for. The last of the exodus waves took place at 9AM local time, leaving only of a handful of Cranes on the field below the viewing platform.

Nov 29, 2009 - Weather and lighting were excellent.
