Snow Day! 9765
Sandhill cranes fly across the sky during the Midwest snowstorm this past Sunday. The weather made for a messy driving day and was the culmination of several days of severe cold weather in New Mexico. The birds didn't seem to mind, though, at times, the wind did make it difficult for them to navigate. Their normal fly-in and fly-out patterns seemed to change too, as they negotiated the refuge seeking out areas that were less windy. Falling snow can make photography difficult, as autofocus can frequently be rendered useless. Overcoming the challenges can be rewarding when shooting in adverse weather.
