Basic editing was done-Resize, crop, and a tad of sharpening.

I want to thank you in advance for commenting.

Quite interesting to see the crane's colors blending with his surroundings, Sandi. Fantastico!

How nature protects helpless creatures! This bird must have acquired the colour of sand after a million years in sandy area. Nice one of the crane with good colour and focus Sandi.

I love the colors of the feathers on this Sandhill Crane. It must be a little shy, and didn't want to look into the camera. Beautiful shot, Sandi.

"The sand hills are sandy and full of Sandhill Cranes," said Sandi as she snapped another beautiful shot and took a bite from her sandwich. :)
Good one Tigz.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

The natural camouflage on him is wonderful - you can see how "hide" in plain sight. Excellent capture Sandi.

Your subject was a tad bashful Sandi. Just being modest I guess about being so nice looking. I don't believe I have seen one so orange in color before but also I haven't gotten this close to one before either. Your captures are all so good.

Did you know that the rust color on its feathers is from mud
that is wiped off it bill. I read that the iron oxide in the mud
stains the birds feather.

I like the photo of animals and people such as this, where they are not looking straight on or posed, but caught in the nature state. The sand cranes here in Florida look a bit different. Nice capture.
