Fantastic capture, Denise! Marvelous detail and wonderful composition. I love to shoot Sandhill Cranes - spent a day here in northern Indiana last month shooting their fall migration - they actually have pretty sizable numbers here since it is a major stop. Also shot them in Florida - they were very tame and I remember feeding them Ritz crackers! #9084549
