I know it's not in NY, but just wanted report that a good sized flock of 15 adult and immature Sandhill Cranes is wintering in Manville, Somerset Co., NJ, along the Manville Causeway and is reliably visible to all. It is nice to see suck a large flock so close and in the northeast. Hopefully the numbers in New England and NY will eventually reach that number in each state and more:-) It's so nice to have them living and breeding in the area. Andrew Andrew v. F.
