Question for the birders of DU. [View all]

Today I driving around the field today in the Arctic and saw what appeared to be two cranes or heron or something like them. I took a picture of them with my cell phone but they didn't come out very well.

Question:

Are these birds normally this far north? I have never seen them in up here in my nineteen years of working up here. Can anyone give me a clue. Thanks
