>> Sunday we returned from visiting our granddaughter in Portland, a trip that was delayed 25 months due to Covid. On the way home we went to Sauvie Island northwest of Portland to view the Sandhill Cranes. Since Sauvie Island is in Oregon we used the US & Canada version of Birder’s Dashboard

>> We chose Oregon for the region and then used “Look for a Species” to find checklists that included Sandhill Cranes. We then selected a checklist

>> Here is Randy Robinson’s more thorough description of how to use the Dashboards.
