Well the sandhills are moving. I heard a flock last night, Rich McCarty saw 30 fly over and Mark Zloba saw 100 flying over, which we ran out to see, but missed them somehow. All in Adams County. So you all better be watching quick!

A little after noon today, near Carey (east of Findlay) there were about 45
Sandhill Cranes coming in to land in a field just north of highway 15.

At 11:50am Friday morning, I counted a flock of 165 Sandhill Cranes. I was
in the parking lot of Oakwoods Nature Preserve, which is immediately SW of
Findlay, which itself is in the middle of Hancock County.
The birds were flying in 2 "V's" of roughly equal size. They were about 100
feet up and flying in a SSE direction.
