Sand hill cranes!

I did see a pair of sandhill cranes flying north at about 200 yards up while birding at spencer island in Everett on Saturday

Bird On !!!

I hope this link to a not-so-hot photo of it will work (taking you to Flickr)...I only have a little point-and-shoot camera that isn't so great for catching large, distant birds in flight against a gray sky! I would love to know if anyone has any insight into what it might be. It looked plain gray, no distinctive markings from afar (but that could be the Fall Gray Sky effect!).
