I saw two Sandhill Cranes near State College last week. One June 11 in Stormstown and the other June 12 in Bellefonte. Both were flyovers calling repeatedly. Both were alone without other Cranes nor Geese.

A few days ago a lone Sandhill Crane was well-described flying over in NW Huntingdon Co, Camp Blue Diamond by Gabriel Imler.

Yesterday while driving in Park Forest I saw a flock of about 15 canada geese flying in formation and headed North. At the back of the formation was a bird with a straight neck and long legs stretching out behind it. My first impression was a sandhill crane, but I only caught a glimpse of their silhouettes before they went overhead. Has anyone ever observed something like this, and are there other possibilities I should consider?
