Canon 600 IS 4.0 plus 1.4 TC Gitzo Tripod, Winberley Head, Fill Flash -1 Spot metering - 1/3 1/1000 f8 Croppe ~50%. Aransas WildLife Refuge, Texas.
Don Schoenfeld ( a fellow NSN) was extremely generous to let us his yatch and a hired captain (The same man who conducts the tourist wooping Cranes boats) to go to the Aransas Wildlife Refuge from the water to get close to these beauties. The captain knew of a family whose territory was pretty close to the intercoastal canal. So we found then and he parked the boat firmly on the sand. (It is illegal to get out to shore in this sanctuary). We have a blast, these cranes were oblivious to us, they just keep foraging for these blue crabs with great photo opportunities, the light was also fantastic. It was windy though. I hope you guys enjoy this picture of these extemely endangered species (Only 185 of the wild migratory) remain. Thanks again to Don for his extreme cooperation. Juan E. Bahamon
