Sandhill Cranes are considered a rare sighting for the mid-Atlantic States. One had been seen off and on during the summer near my daughter’s home in Delaware, and most notably at Bombay Hook NWR, ten miles east of her. Several times my son-in-law texted or told me he saw it fly over their home, but I could never sight it in my goings back and forth.
Until two weeks ago! Yay!!

Sandhill Cranes are approximately the same height as a Great Blue Heron only bulkier.

Fun and games with my 6 year old grandson and then a regionally rare bird sighting one minute after leaving had me on Cloud 9 all the way home!
