VIDEO: while checking the ducks on Lake Ontario,
I heard the vocalization of 90 Sandhill Cranes as they soared over
Thickson Point in Whitby, east of Toronto.
About 30 minutes later, John Brett
saw the same 90 Sandhills over his house in Scarborough.

An hour later at 3:20 p.m. about 40-50 km west, my
friend
Eleanor T.
Beagan saw what we think is the same flock in Toronto fly
over the Don Valley Parkway south of Eglinton. She said "They
finally peeled off to the west in two, long v-lines. Delightful
sighting in the middle of the city. I kept thinking that if they
were looking for cornfield, they had a few miles to go." 27 November
