At the Ithaca Beer company last night I spotted something up high, I had my binocs. and rushed outside and saw 3 Sandhill cranes heading north up the Inlet Valley. At first I thought they might be herons but there were 3 flying tightly together and they were way bulkier than herons. I have only seen them once before in Northern Ontario. The brewery has a great outdoors patio looking south across a farm field, with a pond that will be filling in. Should be a good birding spot while enjoying good beer. Toby
