Just look what you missed on Saturday! This share from Larry Basden: Four participants – Ron Blackwell, Diane Lafferty, Linda Basden, Larry Basden – enjoyed a very pleasant weather day for this field trip. We started out early with our crane tour at the Mississippi Sandhill Crane NWR where we did see Cranes and Bald Eagles (nest and all) as well as a few other species.
