Looking for Food
by

Trinity, FL

As I was driving this morning, I saw two Sandhill Cranes wading in a drainage ditch. I turned around and parked across from the ditch. The bird showed no fear of me at all. I was able to get as close as 12 feet from them.

nice catch George! As Jess mentioned a tad blown out so I'd just watch your exposures.

Only the thumb is displaying for me - but I like this from what that shows.

Great catch George, a little blow-out area behind the eye but that is only a nit-pick. Well done. Jess

Great catch! I don't think I've been as as close as 12 miles from a Sand Hill Crane to my knowledge.
