I had a note from a regular reportee and someone who knows his birds. This=
particular gentleman has participated as a feeder watcher for quite some t=
ime now during the Christmas Bird Counts and has had other good birds aroun=
d his house off and on that he lets me know about. His description is as f=
ollows:
=20
While on my morning walk along Mader's Cove Rd. last Friday I spotted three=
large birds in close formation flying from NE to SW at 200' - 300'. Unfor=
tunately I had my small 8 x 35 binoculars and they were probably 1/4 mile a=
way before I got them in focus. Larger than a Blue Heron or Eagle whose pro=
files and flight patterns I can recognize, Sandhill Cranes came to mind.=20
=20
They were coming from the Oakland shore flying over Westhaver's beach enrou=
te to Riverport, Rosebay

He asks if sandhill cranes would be possible. So keep your eyes open, as t=
here might be some in the area.
