Sandhill Cranes

[1putts]

I went out birding this weekend, it'd been way too long. It's still pretty quiet around here, but the Sandhill Cranes cooperated for a few shots.

Nice work. I like the action in the 3rd shot the best. The 1st one is also quite nice. As Casil said, very impressive.

1st shot is excellent ... got that eye beautifully!

I like the pre-mating ritual too although my wife reckons I'm too heavy to do that anymore! :headslap:
