P2064083 2013 February

Dragoon, Arizona

Thanks for all of your wonderful comments on my shot of the Apache Power Station.
Down the road from there is the Apache Station Wildlife Area where I arrived just before 5:00 p.m.
I started leaving at about 5:30 after having seen absolutely nothing! As soon as I reached my car
I heard the Sandhill Cranes overhead. I rushed back up to the viewing area and got lots of pictures.
They never did come very close, though, so most of my shots were from quite a distance.

Olympus E-620
1/1000s f/11.0 at 212.0mm iso500 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great capture of the flock. Can't wait to see and hear the cranes coming back this Spring. V

I sure would like to photograph sandhill cranes again. Not sure I'll ever get back to the Bosque. Such a long drive from here.

This is great! I have not shot them in flight yet!

A super shot of this flock in flight Carol.

They make a lot of noise... too bad we don't have sound-a-vision to go with this beautiful photo.
