Hello All, As of 11:30 AM this morning (Nov. 17), the 3 Sandhill Cranes can still be found on McKenney Road. It looks like two adults with an immature. My wife and I (along with her father and his wife) observed them this morning from 11:10-11:30 AM. They were observed in a field on the right hand side (west) of McKenney Road just after Rose Ridge Farms. They were about 100 metres from the road. A large sign for 13700 McKenney Road is on the left hand side directly across from Rose Ridge Farms.
According to a teenager from the farm, the cranes have been there since the spring. Many thanks to Roy Sorgenfrei for the initial posting. A lifer for us. Directions courtesy of Roy Sorgenfrei.
