Just After O’dark Thirty
Just After O’dark Thirty Why awake and be on location by o’dark thirty? Photogs know all to well. Moreover, photographers as well as bird watchers, nature lovers, and many others will gather, as they do every year in mid March, to see the Sandhill Cranes on the Platte River in Nebraska. The cranes lift off the river just after sunrise. In this image, they are still roosting on the river just below the horizon. They leave the river in flocks sometimes numbering in the thousands, even tens of thousands.
