40th Annual Count

This year's count in less than two weeks away, Sat. April 18th. Am starting to look forward, but hoping weather warms up. Daytime temps still in 30s and 40s.
We have many returning counters and three new people. Two from last year can't make it and several moved out of state.
Weather was great last year, but overall totals were down from the year before. I haven't picked a site for myself yet, but we'll see what's available.
Sorry I've been slow to update blog. I did hear and see migrating cranes weeks ago during the first warm spell after winter. Haven't see much activity since then, so I'm really looking forward to getting out in the field the 18th.
If you're interested in helping us count send me a line: howlinblog@yahoo.com. There's 50 established sites in Waukesha County with 15 spoken for so far, so there's plenty to choose from.
thanks
