(Sandhill Crane) Bosque de Apache, New Mexico

This is intended to be about a month long series of images from my two weeks at Bosque. My intent is to make the images flow as though they all occurred during a single day. Of course, they occurred during the two weeks I was there. :)

This is the seventeenth post of the series. It's interesting to go through so many images of the same type of bird. You start to see the variations in them. I don't think there is such a thing as a Dark-eyed Sandhill but it might be fun to try and convince people.

Tripod/Wimberly mounted Nikon D2H, 600mm AFS, TC-14EII, ISO 400, Aperture Priority, 1/1250 @ F5.6, SB-80DX, BB, FP. Cropped -25% to give the bird some room. The original was a little tight. :roll:

Maybe he's just hung over, Tony. :D

Nice shot, good light, exposure, focus and composition.

Nice light and great blue sky. The pictures from Boque remind me of the enjoyable two weeks spent there.

Another beautiful flight shot. Interesting eye. With the number of shots that you took out there, I figure you must have a documentary shot of every crane but a couple of hundred.

By now you have mastered Sandhill Cranes and Bald Eagles!!
How about the Kookaburra in Australia ????
You'll need at least two weeks there!!!
