From 1969 to the present, local volunteers have been counting cranes at the Phyllis Haehnle Memorial Sanctuary. From late September until the marsh freezes or the cranes stop coming, crane counts are done on Monday nights.
The first modern count in our records is from Ron Hoffman who counted 35 cranes on September 21, 1969. Harold Wing did his last count on October 25, 1991 and recorded 1,585. In November 2001 we broke four thousand with a year high of 4,019. It took nearly a decade but on November 15, 2010 we counted 5,523. The Sanctuary record of 8,177 was counted on November 19, 2012.
It's important to note that the crane count indicates the number of cranes spending the night at the sanctuary. Many more are often observed flying over.
