Wind patterns on sand hill on the Madigan Line in the Simpson Desert. A remote wilderness and a rare image.

An inland water way with a difference. / This is the smooth rich red sands of the Hay River located in the wilderness area of the North Simpson Desert. / Seasonal rains create flash floods, brining life to the desert… a ribbon of life that runs from NT near Jervios through the heart of the Simpson, on toward Poepell corner near the QAA line which is normal desert crossing to Birdsville / A very rare scene experience only by a few travellers. / Taken on Fuji S2 Pro

The best place in the world to be in March: The Platte river near Gibbon, Nebraska when the Sandhill cranes migrate. Every evening they fly in – hundreds of thousands – to roost on the sandbars in the shallow river. In the morning, at dawn, they will lift off in unison. It is one of the greatest spectacles, and sounds I’ve witnessed.

I spent a night in a photo blind at the edge of the Platte river in order to photograph the Sandhill cranes. The birds are very wary and this was one way to hopefully get a better vantage point as they came in to roost in the evening. I was discouraged at first that the night of my reservation proved to be very cloudy and by the time the majority of the birds had come to rest on the sandbars it was mostly dark. Determined to go away with whatever I could get, I set my camera for a longer shutter speed and was really pleased to capture both the motion of the current and the slow graceful movements of the birds as they preened and waded in the shallow water. I can’t imagine a more beautiful place to be in early Spring when the Sandhill Cranes migrate by the hundreds of thousands and use this 80 mile stretch of shallow river as their safe haven while they rest, gain weight for their long flight, and establish life long partnerships through elaborate dance. / /

This is another version of Smith Falls on the Niobrara River in Nebraska. You don’t find a lot of waterfalls on the prairies but this one is worth pulling over for.

I don’t usually shoot landscapes. They don’t usually appeal to me, so this sand dune at sunset is something entirely new to my portfolio. I would appreciate any comments and constructive criticism. I love the patterns that the wind makes on the sand. Every time I go to this place there are different patterns depending on the weather

Featured three times…most recently in National Parks of the World I encountered these lovely birds at the Reifl Bird Sanctuary in the estuary of the Fraser River on the west coast of Canada, made this picture, and copied information from Wikepedia: “The Sandhill Crane (Grus canadensis) is a large crane of North America and extreme northeastern Siberia…Adults are gray overall; during breeding, the plumage is usually much worn and stained, particularly in the migratory populations, and looks nearly ochre. They have a red forehead, white cheeks and a long dark pointed bill. They have long dark legs which trail behind in flight and a long neck that is kept straight in flight. Immature birds have reddish brown upperparts and gray underparts. The sexes look alike. Size varies among the different subspecies. This crane frequently gives a loud trumpeting call that suggests a French-style “r” rolled in the throat. The only other large grayish-bodied bird of North America is the Great Blue Heron. Although this heron is of similar dimensions to the Sandhill Crane and is sometimes mistakenly called a crane, even though it is very different in plumage details and build, and like other herons it flies with its neck tucked towards the body in a flat “S”-shape. The sandhill crane’s large wingspan (up to 6 1/2 feet) makes this a very skilled soaring bird similar in style to hawks and eagles. Utilizing thermals to obtain lift, they can stay aloft for many hours, requiring only occasional flapping of their wings and consequently expending little energy. With migratory flocks containing 100’s of birds or more, they can create clear outlines of the normally invisible rising columns of air (thermals) which they ride.” Please view other images of these wonderful birds on my Red Bubble site. Image captured using a Nikon D300, Nikkor 600 mm lens, with 1:4 teleconverter, ISO 500, f8, 1/640s.

The Florida Sandhill Crane is far less common, with some 5,000 individuals remaining. They are most threatened by habitat destruction and probably depend on human management in the long run. In Florida, it is protected. Since the loss of habitat is a somewhat controllable cause of a declining population, habitat preservation is a valuable management measure. Capture in Venice ,Florida at the Venice Rookery / canon 40D / canon 400mm / ISO 640 / 1/400 f 5.6 /

Sandhill cranes prepare to fly to warmer climes. Clouds enshroud the Kenai mountains behind them as they fly over Cook Inlet. I had this printed quite large and feel delighted with the clarity of the cranes! Dedicated to Australia’s Barbara Burkhardt, with whom I had tea and a moment of joy. Wonderful subtle sense of humor (humour).. I feel fortunate to have met this adventuous, talented woman and her handsome husband as they toured Alaska. I assume all Australians are as fun.
