Sandhill Crane
It looked like the sun might peak out this afternoon so on a whim I decided to try my luck again. When I got there and spotted them, it was overcast. I positioned myself on the far side of the field and just then, the sun came out for 10 minutes! It was at that exact time that the pair began doing their dancing! I shot 427 photos in about 10 minutes, so many of them interacting with each other! Some were shot with my 1.4 TC, some without, and at various speeds. This was with a bare 500mm, 1/2500 f/5.6 ISO 200. Not too much of a crop. A LOT to go through, but I lucked out.
