[nysbirds-l] extralimital crane flock

2018-01-21 Thread Andrew Block
I know it's not in NY, but just wanted report that a good sized flock of 15 adult and immature Sandhill Cranes is wintering in Manville, Somerset Co., NJ, along the Manville Causeway and is reliably visible to all.  It is nice to see suck a large flock so close and in the northeast.  Hopefully
