"This morning at 10:15, a flock of ~24 SANDHILL CRANES (!!!!) flew over East Park reservoir (Philadelphia, PA) and turned west, flying west along the Schuylkill. I was at Sedgely Woods, near the old Cliffs estate. The flock flew directly over my head in a chevron shape, calling loudly as they passed. I had some friends who were on the other side of the forest who also saw the cranes, and celebrated with me when we met back up. The birds were about 10-15m above our heads when they passed over, and then slowly gained altitude as they flew upriver."

I wish I was a part of it, but I lived vicariously through the reports of others. And here is an approximate map of the flight of the 23-24 Sandhill Cranes that passed through New England on November 27th and 28th:
