Sandhill Cranes.... ( part 1.. big post.. sorry... )

[Guyzerr]

I'm breaking this up into two posts so that someone with dial-up gets a chance to see them.

First of all I do have shots of Sandhill Cranes but they were taken at a zoo so I didn't put much stock into them. These shots are of wild birds and just seeing them made my day.


I was having a relaxing sit on a bench at one of the bird sanctuaries I go to when out of nowhere this fellow came walking by withing five feet of me. I was a bit cautious because they can be somewhat vicious during breeding time but he seemed relaxed enough for me to start shooting.



I decided I needed a head shot so I took it.



Then without warning he decided to fly off so I cracked of a few.









.............. to be continued.............

I had no control over that whatsoever. I do talk to the birds on occasion but they never listen to me. They have a mind all their own.
