These are fantastic! Love the background in the TV shot! There are some Sandhill Cranes in the western part of KY, but I've not had the opportunity to view them.

Looks like it was a successful field trip, Al, even just looking at these two shots. Love the SHC.

That Sandhill looks pretty wary Al, but you caught him nicely in a natural habitat.
I never thought I'd say this, but I love the vulture image. I'm sure it wasn't easy to coax him onto that pole perch was it. :)

The sandhill was indeed wary, but we came upon them quickly, so he didn't have a lot of time to react. There were actually three vultures in that spot, but two decamped when we pulled over. I'm glad one stayed put because the light and proximity were good. One seems seldom to find one perched. Thanks for commenting, Steve.

Very nice. We have a lot of these here in Central Florida, but I still love seeing them.
