Sandhill Cranes
I have a lot of images remaining to process, but wanted to get something posted from my weekend trip to Jasper Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area in northwest Indiana. This location is an annual stopover for thousands of cranes during migration, with just under thirty thousand reported earlier in the week before our arrival. We were not fortunate enough to see them in quite those concentrated numbers at the refuge, but did find large flocks-- ranging in size from dozens to hundreds-- in the surrounding farmland. The weather was variable, but there were times when we had quite nice light for photography, which is not a given at this location.
