I've only experienced Sandhill Cranes in their natural habitat. My 1st encounter was when my son moved up to the Sault. I had to pull over as there were hundreds of them in the fields. My girlfriend and I couldn't believe our eyes. We stopped at watched them for about 20 minutes. I was so excited when 4 flew over a few weeks ago. I've lived in Whitby, my entire life, and have been birding since I was a teenager, over 45 years ago and have never seen Sandhill Cranes here in Southern Ontario.

Beautiful birds and beautiful words, as well as amazing photos! Thank you, Margaret! Makes me “almost” want to be a “birder”!
