I was watching this Whooping Crane thru my camera when something near him on the ground startled him and he jumped and spread his wings. Usually this happens just after my arms get tired and I put the camera down. This time I got lucky. :D

Another great shot. It must have been a real thrill to see them.....and an even bigger thrill to get them close enough to shoot.
