Hi all, Dad and I spent a quick 60 minutes in Grand Pre yesterday afternoon. The 2 Sandhill Cranes were exactly where Judy Tufts said they were. Thank You Judy for excellent directions, also thanks to Bernard Forsythe for inspiring us to go and look, to Richard Stern for sending the initial report and to Don and Carol MacNeill who discovered and adopted the two cranes naming them “the pair a MacNeills”. When we observed the cranes they were resting but rumor has it that they can, when so inspired, put on an impressive Celtic performance. 

Bonus birds were a Snowy Owl, about 200 Lapland Longspurs and about 60 Snow Buntings. The Snowy Owl could be seen by driving to the end of the road where the cranes are and then turning right onto the dyke/corn field road and driving to the end. As you near the road’s terminus, keep an eye on the rocks on the left where the Snowy Owl was resting. The laplands and buntings were busy bouncing from field to field.
