Sandhill Cranes have been seen on and off throughout the summer at Carlton Pond in Troy. Today, they were calling soon after sunrise, and then they flew into the south end to feed in shallows. If they didn't attempt nesting this year, perhaps they will next year. This would represent a significant eastern extension of their known Maine breeding range and would represent the furthest eastern nesting pair in the U.S.
There were also four Great Egrets at the site.
Good birding,
