After jumping around and nudging the smaller birds over to the next pond, these Sandhill Cranes get to enjoy some solitude after all that work….lol

Great work in what looks like it was hard light to shoot in. :D

Thanks Rikki and your right. Shooting these creatures in flight is difficult because they spend alot time most of the day walking and then return to a spot where they bed down for the night, usually as it grows dark. When the early birds come in, I get lucky and can catch the in flight shot. These were taken right after they landed. Thanks a bunch mate!

Nice Work Frank. I got my first look at these birds last winter. We have around 30,000 of them wintering just south of Tucson at the Whitewater Draw Wildlife Refuge.

Thanks Tom, I guess in Fla. we’re spoiled cause they’re plentiful here, yet I still luv em, especially in flight.
