Len Pardue:
I would first e-mail this information to Jeb Barsen, Director of Field
Ecology,  International Crane Foundation, Baraboo, WI at
jeb.icf@baraboo.com     They are in the thick of field research with cranes
and will probably be able to help you very quickly.   Let me know if you
need more help.

Let's go birding...
