Sandhill Cranes Take Off

Bosque del Apache Refuge

We had another wonderful morning at the Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge. These two Sandhills were having a little trouble taking off from a frozen pond. They are so beautiful to watch in flight. Be sure to view Gayle's Gallery at http://www.pbase.com/gpc/birdsbosque

Another amazing capture, Breland. GMV

You have captured a moment in time that I have always enjoyed watching. I have often observed water birds appear to "walk on water " as they depart their water enviornment and become creatures of the sky...great job Breland...

Terrific shot Breland. The sense of movement and action is arresting.

Terrific Bre, not only the walking on water part but they are really nicely separated from the bg. Good work!

Great capture! Light and colors are superb!

Great timing. Looks like it might be an awkward moment for them, neither airborne no grounded.
Guest 16-Dec-2005 19:05
looks like they are running on water
