Sandhill Cranes have returned to field north of Buckhorn

Published by Drew Monkman on

A pair of Sandhill Cranes were seen yesterday on the west side of County Road 507, just south of Charlie Allen Road. They have been present in this area for several years. I still have a pair of Gray Jays that are coming to my feeder as well. I am looking forward to hearing the first Whip-poor-wills in the coming days!
