My husband and I went to Goose Pond this afternoon. Saw a pair of Sandhill
cranes in a field on the way. There were also at least 24 Sandhills by the
east pond at Goose Pond, dozens of Canada geese and a few Cackling geese, 2
Killdeer, 2 grackles, and a Bald eagle flew over and landed on the west pond
and then flew off.
Also saw 6 Sandhill cranes in the tall grass on the north side of the west
pond, though 3 of them flew over from the east pond. There were dozens of
Canada geese, and some ducks and maybe Mergansers. We didn't have a scope, so
could not accurately identify them since the open water was on the far north
end. There were 2 male Redwing blackbirds calling to each other, and a male
pheasant crossed the drive that runs to the house. And a lot of geese flying
overhead. It's definitely spring.
