Al:

This report from Bernice Moores is certainly plausible. Sandhill Cranes are
early migrants in their main flyways further west, and there've been lots of
possibilties of wind displacement of late.

Cheers, Ian McLaren

Hello all

My son, Paul, called to say he saw six Sandhill Cranes over Halifax on
Friday 14 March.  Paul spent several years as a bush pilot in the north and
often reported SACR sightings to me, sometimes as early as late May and
as late as September/October.

On Friday he stepped outside his vehicle on Gottingen Street and was very
surprised to hear the call of sandhills.  At first two were behind four
but soon the whole group was flying together.  They were at about 2,000 feet
and flying to the north east.

Cheers and I do think the birds may have been headed for Canso
