There is a Sandhill Crane at 2400 Shuresville Road Darlington, MD
If you are coming out of Darlington on Shuresville Road going towards Conowingo Dam, you will pass a cemetery on the left. The bird is at the third house on the left past the cemetery.
It has been there for several days but I just found out about it yesterday. Josh Emm spoke to the homeowner and homeowner does not want a bunch of people coming for fear of stressing the bird, but slowly driving by or taking pictures from the road is certainly acceptable.
Shuresville Road has a speed limit of 30 mph and has a moderate amount of traffic but if you are lucky, you can probably stop briefly for a look. The bird moves around and may be in the field behind the house if it is not visible in the yard. I was there this morning and only saw the bird from the neck up in the field behind the house.
Again, DO NOT GO ON THE PROPERTY - Observe from the road.
