Another in the series. The light at about 4:30pm at Bosque gets really good. With the cloudless blue sky and the gray color of the sandhill, makes for some beautiful shots.

Great shot. How was Bosque? Do you have a gallery of the shots anywhere? Did you carry the 600 on the plane?

morehtml, this was my first trip to Bosque and it was fantastic. We drove from Oklahoma City so no airport or plane worries. I have 44 images so far uploaded to anglesimages.com. Enjoy.

Wonderful light and colors in this image. Perfect! I love the shadow of his head on the inside of the wing :D

You have certainly captured this bird beautifully, lovely colours in this shot and nice sharpness to it, well done.

Nice shot Duane! I shot my first sandhill last weekend. I would have loved to have a longer lens.
