At 3:20 this afternoon a kettle of Sandhill Cranes flew over Longos in Leaside, East York. I could hear them but was unable to see them until I got my bins out of my trunk. There were about 75 circling and appeared to be deciding which way to go.
They finally peeled off to the west in two, long v-lines. They were flying south between Eglinton Ave E and the Don Valley Parkway. Delightful sighting in the middle of the city. I kept thinking that if they were looking for a cornfield , they had a few miles to go.
