Yesterday I went to Highland Stone Quarry (no longer in operation) in Highland County to see if indeed the Sandhill Cranes I have seen around there before were at the quarry. I could not find any, which leads me to believe the time that I did see a lot of them as noted in earlier posting was in the FALL. However- the quarry itself is very interesting. Several bodies of water and an Osprey nest with two osprey and perhaps their eggs or babies. They are on Roush Rd. right near the intersection with Price Rd. along the quarry near the old mining equipment. When I got out of my car, they were very interested, perhaps concerned, with me and flew all around until I left. Really great to see them so close. Also there were several cormorants which I found interesting for an inland location.
