23 Sandhill Cranes flying over Haverhill, MA

[Jenna Pettipas]

I know it is not in NH, but Susan Wrisley and I saw 23 Sandhill Cranes fly over us while we were checking out Winnekenni Castle at Kenoza Lake in Haverhill, Ma around 3:45pm. We had finished birding for the day and were interested in the castle. When we got back to the car we heard an unusual bird call/noise. We got out of the car to look around and saw this flock heading toward us. They circled once (or twice - not really sure... I was too excited) and then flew in a south/south east-ish direction.

I apologize if this post is unacceptable since it is technically Mass. but felt that it was close enough to NH border to be significant.
