Whoopers in good light!

It was a fun & productive morning. The cranes were in the exact same spot this morning. Darned leg bands, though. It takes quite a bit of time to PS them out, byt someday I'll get to it. The sun shining sure helps with sharpness, but also give you a much smaller window of opportunity. It doesn't take long for the sun to get too high and strong. Anyway, it was a good opportunity.

Do those leg bands have a wire coming out of them, perhaps a GPS tracker???

Neat pics. I'd love to see one in the wild.

The 5th one made me laugh. It has such a comical expression. Good to see you were able to get out after the sun returned!

Those are really great Mike. I like the 2nd and the 5th the best.

Great stuff XT sounds like those birds are a little lost - but I am sure someone is looking for them. The legband jewelry is part of the deal I guess, they look like they have two peices each.

Interesting post and good shots.

Nice work, X-T. I especially like the head/neck portrait where the bird is looking at you with cocked neck. Congrats on getting them in better light.

Very nice shots XT, i really like the 3rd, 4th and last one.

Nice shots, X! I like the second one where he's curling his head over his back!

That fifth one is priceless! Nice job XT.

The fifth one just cracked me up! Love it

Has anyone ever gone to Nebraska in March for the crane migration?

Awesome!!!!
