Observation details
There were three of us traveling to Thacher State Park when we noticed a large bird working a freshly planted field. We turned around and pulled over. With bionculars we observed the bird from where the car was parked. At this point we believed it was a Sandhill Crane. We then walked on the road towards the bird. We used the website "allaboutbirds.org" for field identification and upon our final destination we referenced a Peterson Field guide to eastern birds. Our field observations were: tall, large with black legs. The tail had a "bustle" (drooping feathers). Most noticeable was the reddish crown with black beak longer than the head. The neck appeared whiter than the body. The body was between gray and brown. iPhone 7 photos taken from road looking onto the farm. We confirmed bird I'd using binoculars. The time was 11:00am to 11:30 am on junction road, east field after bridge.
