The Sandhill Cranes were still in the harvested field on Milton Road today about 2pm. Initially there were 8 birds in the far (northwest) corner of the field on the left side of Milton just past Perrault Road. They were soon joined by about 20 more Cranes that flew in from the east. We also saw several Northern Harriers in this area.
Directions: From Ottawa take Hwy. 417 east to exit 96 (Boundary Road). Turn left (north) on Boundary Road and continue about 2 km to Russell Road. Turn right on Russell and go 3.5 km to Milton Road (at the first stop sign). Turn left on Milton and go north about 2 km to Perrault Road (a small dirt road on your right). The cranes were in the field on the west side near the northwest corner.
