Wildlife | Sandhill Crane

Wildlife | Sandhill Crane   Occasionally, it’s better to be lucky than good.  Seldom do I get close enough to capture a portrait of a Sandhill Crane.  This image is by far the closest and clearest Sandhill Crane I have ever captured.  By using my vehicle as a blind, I was able to get very close without disturbing it.  It must be accustomed to having people and cars around them.  This Sandhill is one of a nesting pair that comes back to this lake every year.  For the whole story with all images, see Wildlife | a 7 Image Story.
