Smelt like a seagull huh?

But tasted slightly better than Bald Eagle.

Many years ago my dad told me a story of how to cook a sandhill crane.

Clean the crane and put it in a large roasting pan and place a 15-20 pound rock on top of the crane.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Cover the roasting pan, put it in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 hours.

Remove from oven, throw away the crane and eat the rock.

Good one.. lol

We were driving down 63 south of Ft Mac and I just got a glimpse of 2 big brown birds on the side of the road in some muskeg looking stuff. They were standing upright, like cranes. I'm sure some of you guys know what they are?

Well, did you at least pull over and take a few shots at them?
