Re: [Maine-birds] Sandhill Cranes

Great that you finally got to see them!   We're a bit spoiled up here in southern Somerset County.  They congregate in those cornfields every fall.

Thanks to all for these helpful postings. Many birders have helped me try to locate sandhill cranes this past year, but I haven't been successful until today, in the heavy rain (so photos aren't the best). About 30 birds located at 3:30 on Martins Stream Road. Just beautiful. And thank you again to all past and present guides. We saw no other birders at all.

I just got a report from Louis Bevier that the flock has split up and  there are none in Smithfield, but 20-23 on Martin Stream Rd., in Norridgewock.  They move around a lot.

Wow!  Nice number.  Maine sure is the place for Sandhills in the northeast now.  Very cool.

They move around.  Sometimes they're on Martin Stream Rd. in Norridgewock.  These were on the flats on the west side of Rte. 8, just below Sand Hill Rd.

Hi Wally, I am likely to drive up. Thanks for the heads up.
