I apologise for a rather imprecise location, but it was getting dark under lowering skies with occasional rain, I wasn't about to stop. Last evening while driving south on Buckhorn Road, just south of the town of Buckhorn, a sandhill crane flew at low altitude from west to east over the road. A check on Google Maps shows a marshy area to the east of Buckhorn Road, I presume it was heading for that, as it did seem to go into a descending glide after it crossed the road and went behind trees.
The town of Buckhorn is located at the intersection of County Road 36, Buckhorn Road, and Lakehurst Road, at the northeast end of Buckhorn Lake. Traveling northeast from Toronto would take approximately 2 hours. GPS coordinates for the flyover point would be approximately N 44.54206° W 078.32965° Dave Bailey _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
