AT 3:06, this came in on the Delaware listserv from Derek Stoner...
"At 1:40pm, I spotted a large bird gliding and making slow, deep
wingbeats. The long neck and long trailing legs were notable, and
smaller raptors soared by this larger bird for size comparison.
As "the bird" came into better view, we were finally able to get looks
at it through a spotting scope to confirm my hunch: it was indeed a
Sandhill Crane. Headed to the Southeast, we watched the crane for a few
minutes before it disappeared."
I wonder...
