Series: A Day at Bosque: [3] Still 1/2 hour before sunrise

(Sandhill Cranes, Snow Geese) 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 third in the series. You'll find the first two in the Birds Gallery.

Taken through the weeds at the crane pool this doesn't quite reflect what you see unless you're willing to poke your head through the weeds. Actually, there was a low section between the tall weeds that I was able to get this through.

The time is still only about 6:30 am and it's still pretty dark out so the exposure was still reasonably long. I'm here instead of in Landscape because of the power lines.

Tripod/Wimberly mounted Nikon D2H, 70-200mm AFS VR @ 125mm, ISO 400, Aperture Priority, EV+0.3, 3 secs @ F11. Shot vertically and cropped slightly from sides and converted to 5:4.
