Marsh Creek Road and Borden Highway. Lost twice finding road to King Island. As we stopped at the drawbridge a large number of cranes could be seen moving toward the west. They divided into two flocks; one going north east, the other south. We followed the flock going N.E. as they were nearer and we could hear their calls. They rose quite high before forming lines and after a few minutes disappeared in the distance. Possibly 300 in the two flocks. Other birds seen: Kelleden, Am.
