A total of 19,501 were counted in the fall of 1999. The Rocky Mountain Population consists of greater sandhill cranes that breed in Montana, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Colorado, and winter mostly in New Mexico, Arizona and Because of the increase in crane numbers, the Pacific Flyway Council will allow 80 cranes to be taken in U t&h this year. That's up from 69 last year. Sixty-si- x percent of the hunters who drew a permit and hunted cranes area in 1 999 took in the three-counta bird.
