Sandhill
Cranes:
Seeing
sandhill cranes will be the goal of our field trip
on Sunday, November 2. We are lucky
to be close
to the astounding spectacle of 12,000 of these
beautiful migrating birds. Best seen at sunset, we will meet at 3:00 pm at the
NIPSCO Training Center parking lot to car pool to the
Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Game area, a 45 minute ride.
