Early this afternoon I observed 12 Sandhill Cranes long River Drive in Pickaway County. To reach this location from Circleville take US Route 23 south from the interchange with State Routes 22 and 56 about 4.5 miles to Radcliff Road. Turn right (west) on Radcliff Rd about 2 miles until it dead ends into River Drive. You will pass Charlie's Pond on the way. Turn right onto River Drive and shortly you will find a narrow pond extending from the right side of the road. The Sandhill Cranes were about 50 yards from the road beside this pond. There were also a number of ducks and a few other birds on the pond and nearby.
