[Ontbirds]Sandhill Crane at Ottawa

[PETER HALL]

Hi Ontbirders:
   
  At 8:20 am today, a single Sandhill Crane flew low over my house in Old Ottawa South and then over Billings Bridge on Bank Street heading in a southeast direction, likely towards Mer Bleue bog. This is a backyard lifer for me after living in my house in downtown Ottawa for thirty years.
   
  Good birding
