For those of you who live near Manitou--next time you hear a warbling sound that seems to be coming from just off your left elbow--look as high in the sky as you can possibly see, and you may be rewarded with a flight of Sandhill Cranes. I saw a formation of 23 yesterday. They are in motion all around the lake and they are a pretty sight indeed. They are nature's ventriloquists, so don't be fooled by the direction of the sound--look up!
