Sandhill Cranes are still relatively rare in Maine, but today Ingrid and I drove two hours west to Fryeburg and were treated to a flock of 29 these amazing birds . . . some almost four foot tall.

We had hoped to see the a Tundra Swan that had been seen near the Cranes the day before . . . but had no luck.

Apparently he showed up not long after we headed home . . .
