Since Thanksgiving, I’ve seen two Sandhill Cranes in North Ridgeville every
single day on my way to and from work.  Easily visible from your car.  No
need for scopes or binoculars.  No need to brave the elements.  Drive by
birding at its finest.

 

I’ve posted in the past about these birds, but I figured I’d re-post for
Christmas Bird Counts and for whatever personal bird count you might be
doing.  

 

Birds are located in a corn field on the West side of Race Road, just ¼ mile
south of Center Ridge Road in North Ridgeville.  The corn field is actually
behind a restaurant called Kim’s Restaurant.  Most days, best viewing is
from Race Road, but last week, it was easier to view from the parking lot of
Kim’s Restaurant looking south.  There is an abandoned tractor or bulldozer
in the corn field.  

 

If you are going to look for these birds and you have any problems finding
them, email me off list.  I’m usually in the area.  Good luck!
