Hello all:

I just saw the "Cornwall" Whooping Crane about 1/2 hour ago.  I don't recall seeing the location specified in previous postings, so for those that are interested in attempting to see this Florida/Wisconsin wonder, head west on Vt Route #125 from Middlebury.  Go down the hill after passing through the college campus and go 4 miles to West Street.  Turn left and head South on West Street for about 1/2 mile.  Stop and scan the fields on the right.  It was feeding in the fields.  It's big; it's white; and it's not a Great Egret!  A Bald Eagle was also sitting in a tree nearby.

This is very near the spot where a Northern Hawk Owl spent some time in Nov/Dec 1996.
