They were photographed by Ray Strickland on the evening of July 4 in a bog by the Old railway trail on the Heathbell Rd. Ray saw them and heard them a couple of times over the next few days closer to his home near Scotsburn, but had not spotted them for over a month. I was out of the country at the time of these sightings and tried to relay a posting at the time to Ian McLaren, but I am not sure if the posting went through as I was having some problems with the keyboards. Nice to know the birds are still in the area although this location is a bit west of Scotsburn and the birds are likely moving around a fair bit. cheers ken ----- Original Message ----- From: "Randy Lauff" <randy.lauff@gmail.com> To: "NatureNS" <naturens@chebucto.ns.ca>; "NS-RBA" <NS-RBA@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2011 9:44 PM Subject: [NatureNS] 4 Sandhill Cranes, near Denmark > All, > > I just received a call from a friend who lives in the United Arab > Emerites; he is on vacation back here in NS.
