Ancient Migration
Sandhill Crane
Kearney, Nebraska
I was invited to join some friends to witness the annual crane migration in Kearney. I have to admit that it was not on my bucket list, but it SHOULD have been! I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Nothing like getting up way before dawn, and quietly walking to a viewing blind to see and hear thousands of cranes waking to greet the morning. During the day, these beautiful birds are in the corn fields adding weight for their long journeys into Canada and the Arctic. I highly recommend that you add this destination to your bucket list.
I've never been very successful at bird-in-flight photos, but this (rented) lens helped me get some keepers.
