[Tweeters] Common Crane YouTube video link

[Larry Schwitters]

Nice job on the video Cara.

It also shows another ID mark for a Common that you need the wings open for. Common has a lot more black on its primaries and secondaries than Sandhills.

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.
