Boy did we ever have a nice surprise today! We headed across the border to Canada this morning to pick our own strawberries at Belluz Farms then we spent the afternoon in Thunder Bay. We picked up delicious sandwiches from an Italian deli then went to Kam River Park for a river-side lunch, followed by a matinee movie. About half-way through the drive home Jessica exclaimed "Whoa! There was a sandhill crane standing in the ditch back there!" I swung the car around and we went back for a look. Sure enough, there was a crane just off the road! It had walked away from the highway through a thin line of brush and was standing out in a swampy area less than 100 feet from the road. We watched it walk around in the tall grass for a while, all the while taking photos of it. Eventually we saw a second one a short distance away from the one we had been watching, which leads us to believe they might be nesting in that swampy area. Very exciting to think there could be a young colt somewhere out there in that tall grass!
