I saw three large birds out of the corner of my eye, then it dawned on me... red head... Sandhill Cranes? I needed to be home, but I turned around. By the time I got back, they were heading to the woods. I only got a few shots before they moved out of sight. I left my turn signal on when I stopped, when I was going to pull away...blue lights in my rear view window...

Oh no, did you get a ticket? As you said to me, "the things we do to get a good capture" I really hope you talked your way out of getting a ticket. It's like a sickness, Gotta get the shot, no matter what. LOL Very nice capture and I never saw a bird quite like this one.

Such a different shot Elizabeth. The bird with the trees looks great. So you had the blue light special?
Excellent post. Do we need to take up a collection? :)

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
A good capture of the sand hill crane Elizabeth. I think if you showed the cop this image, He would have to let you go on your way. Great post, Saved

What a great photo love the colours the blue and the gray tones.
I would say these bird are shy and hard to capture on camera.

These sandhill's are hard to get close too! I like the backdrop! Unique in that you usually see these birds in fields!

I call that dedication... risking (and getting) the blinking blue lights all for a great shot! It almost looks like the crane is trying to disguise itself as a tree... ;-))

I think it is outstanding that you kept your head and got everything in focus under those conditions. Who among us has not committed traffic no-no's? I hope you got off with a discussion and a promise. :)
