I visited Lake Artemesia, PG MD (DeLorme page 47, B5) today (December 13). 
Within a few minutes of 8AM, I had a Sandhill Crane fly overhead heading
south-west.  I doubt the bird is chase-able, unless it was heading out of
a roost.  Nevertheless it's nice to know it's around.  Now, if only I can
identify some red flybys with misshapen bills... 

As an aside, if the crane maintained a constant heading, ten miles earlier
it was near the pens at Patuxent.  I think it's unlikely, but does anyone
know if they lost a captive recently?
