Good fortune was shining today even if the sun wasn't; a railroad crew had  
Rt. 601 closed for work at the grade crossing, so I could park in the road  
without worry and bird away. The Sandhill Crane flew across the field,  
calling, around 3:40. I knew about the straight neck but the wing beats  
and gliding landing are pretty distinctive, too. I refound it in the field  
and got good scope looks. Did a little dance and floated back to work.

Good birding,

John Fox
Arlington
