Thanks to reader Steve M. ...

for pointing out this well-done article in USA Today about Sandhill Cranes.

What makes it well-done? The map, the details about planning a trip, the sidebar about bird flu, the map of other birding hotspots in the states and the related article about those hotspots.

If only the mainstream media consistently provided such great information about birding to its millions of readers!

If you see interesting articles or tidbits, please feel free to share them with me!
