I found this lovely lady on my front lawn. She let me walk right up to her to take her picture. She and her mate were doing a mating dance. I'm hoping they nest nearby so we can enjoy seeing their babies too.
Lovely close up and I love the light in the birds eye it gives it life and the colours in that head are amazing .I also like the detail in this photo and light it head as a velvet like texture and I should steer clear of that beak if I was you lol.
That must have been really cool seeing that crane in your own front yard engaged in a mating dance!!! She's a beauty and posed nicely for you. Great capture!!!
