Cranes and Teal

Megan Crewe got a new yard bird yesterday when the two Sandhill Cranes made a loop over the fields neighboring New England and Bayshore roads at about 3 in the afternoon, and then headed north over the canal. Perhaps they will wind up at Villas WMA, where a single crane had been seen occasionally earlier in the winter. Which reminds me, a pair of Blue-winged Teal were on the big pond at Villas yesterday late afternoon.
