Hi All: I second Blakes comments. The bird is easily observable from the roadside or has been on every visit that I have made. Directions would depend on how you are coming in from Sackville. If coming in through Bridgewater, take the Bridgewater exit after the Blockhouse turnoff. Go left off of the ramp from the 103 and past the Irving Garage. Go straight to the set of lights by the Petro Canada and A & W. Make a right at the lights and go to the next set of lights. Do not cross the Bridge, but make a left. You now will be heading down along the LaHave River. Go to the next set of lights and continue straight through. You will pass the Theatre and continue down along the river. You will go through Oakhill and Dayspring. Continue straight and do not turn as you are on the road to Lunenburg. Drive until you see a sign for Rhodes Corner. As you are driving through Rhodes Corner there is only one farm on the right hand side of the road. It has a pond and there is a cemetary just the other side of it. This is the Sarty farm and the sandhill crane will either be tending beside the roadside, in the field between the cemetary and the farm, alongside of the road or by the manure pile up by the barn. It should easily be observed from roadside if still there. James R.
