Common Crane photo'd on private land in Camas Prairie area (SW of Fairfield) yesterday

Still awaiting more details, including if it was seen again today and if the area is visible from public roads (& awaiting permission to share the pic). But, since cranes can fly and people might consider changing plans for tomorrow, figured I'd mention to stay tuned ... AND IF YOU GO LOOKING TOMORROW WITHOUT ADDITIONAL LOCATION/ACCESS INFO, DO NOT TRESPASS! Thanks, Jay

Hi all! I have refound the Common Crane today in Fairfield! For those interested in chasing I will post a pin. Please be very mindful of private land and only view the bird from public roads. Also please note that it has been raining all night and the roads are muddy, please be very careful as not make ruts in the road. Dropped pin Near Baldwin Rd, Fairfield, ID 83327 -Carter

Hey all, Eurasian Crane is another name for Common Crane (scientific name Grus grus). There’s usually only one or so in the entire continent per year, and typically in western Alaska, so that’s why it’s not in a lot of field guides. ABA rarity code 4. The bird from ten years ago was a Hooded Crane, which is even rarer. Lucian Davis

There was a Common Crane in California just south of Lakeview, OR off Highway #395 this past August. It was there (with a large number of Sandhill Cranes) for several weeks—can’t access eBird data at this time. Here is a long distance photo (hand held) to give you all some idea of what you are looking for.

Hey everybody, I am unsure if anyone has looked for the bird today yet but I'll let people know here when I do. I am getting lots of requests for updates so if anyone is considering looking today or already has, updates here would be greatly appreciated, thanks. -Carter

Carter just reported that the Crane has been seen this morning in the same general area, about 100 yards south of Wednesday’s location.

Do you need a 4 x 4 to access the road? Would a regular sedan be adequate? Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

The Common Crane was still being seen at 2:30pm. Ken Miracle helped get me on it and I was able to get a couple other birders on it before I left. On my way out, at the intersection of the first road off the highway I found a large mixed flock of Horned Larks and Snow Buntings. Snow Bunting has been a 15-year nemesis bird for me... until today!

really cool that you found the Snow Buntings … I lost our messenger call but was 20 miles aways and decided that since it was late and not a lifer not to turn around :-)
