[Tweeters] Common Crane YouTube video link

[Cara Borre]

With the weekend approaching, and some confusion about the Common Crane
sighting, I thought I would write and share our images from our viewing
yesterday.  It was a great outing and I would recommend the journey if you
have the time and are willing to take the gamble it hangs around.

I know there has been talk about the possibility of this bird being a
hybrid, and I will not address that topic as I haven't studied it in
depth.  When I search eBird for the sighting, and zoom in, I am finding the
message about it being a "sensitive species".   I did Google its status and
noted it is a species of some concern at least in Europe.  I don't know if
this is the reason the sighting is hidden from eBird or if there truly is
some debate about its lineage behind the scenes.

Kudos again to Liam Hutcheson for finding the bird and alerting Tweeterdom!

Cheers,
