Nice flight shot. A bit hot on the whites.

Nice flight shot. As mentioned a bit hot. The band apparently doesn't hurt the bird like you said. At Bosque last week we saw a Crane with what looked like a coke can around its neck. A naturalist there told us that they used to band the birds like that in the 80's and that this particular Crane was probably 26+ years old. It may not bother them but it looks uncomfortable and it looks like hell.

Nice. I like the placement of the bird in the frame.

"Reportedly" is the operative word here. I'm sure the crane would have something to say, if it had a voice in the matter. Looks mighty uncomfortable, if you ask me. As for the shot it is good and sharp though the face is over-exposed or lost in post-processing. I would also prefer a more optimal wing-position. All that being said this shot has "emotional impact" for me, though it is not on the positive side.
