The crane was present at Meadow Park off of Delaware Avenue in Elkton from 3PM until 3:45PM this afternoon. He was still there when I left, foraging under cover of the grove of big pine trees about three fourths of the way around the park loop. As you enter the park, the trees are actually to your left, but the loop is one way, so you have to drive right and keep going until you see the trees on your left. It was raining off and on, but stopped for long enough for me to get a few pictures. I'll post a link later. The bird is very mellow, not prone to spook, if you move slowly and deliberately if you exit your car. Thanks Pat and Sean for the tip.
