Around 10:10 AM I saw a great blue heron and two sandhill cranes at Big

At 10:20 I saw two more sandhill cranes.
Big Creek National Wildlife Area is just north of Long Point Provincial

Just now, at 10:53 two more sandhill cranes just landed

As this goose is an ABA Code 5.
Code 5: Accidental.
Species that are recorded five or fewer times in the ABA Checklist Area, or
fewer than three records in the past 30 years.
Thank you
