This Sandhill Crane seems to be surveying its surroundings. I decided to keep the editing basic, as this was a pretty clear capture to start with.

Thank you for the views, and comments, I appreciate reading what your thoughts are.

Sandi - Superb! Side lighting, the crane posing so well, blurred background of contrasting color - perfect portrait. Thad

Sandi, it's not necessary for it to get airborne in order to obtain an overview of the surroundings, lol.

Perfect capture my friend!

He looks so much like his predecessors, the dinosaurs. Standing there, watching for enemies, waiting for dinner.

Great shot, Sandi. My first thought was a Staff Sergeant, though it amounts to the same thing. Really good.

These birds are so amazing to watch. It is if they choreograph their movements in courtship. You have captured this beauty so good Sandi. I just wish I could get that close to one...haven't yet.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
