it doesn't feel like fall down here but the migration has started- these guys are becoming more common and the swallow tailed kites have gone south

Very nice. I like the composition a lot. The way they are positioned is perfect.... like two bookends.

I've only been learning to take bird photos for a short time now but it turns out, the area in which I live is a wintering location for Sandhill cranes: they are here from November to February or so. They move around a bit and one location is a cow pasture so the setting isn't ideal. I hope to get some good photographs this winter, as I was unaware of their presence last season. I hope I get a shot as nice as yours.

Thank you for taking the time to share your lovely photograph with us.

Nice shots, C.Bob but I bet you're asking yourself, why didn't I get the focus more on the head? Curious, if migration is starting, from where if you are in Fla.?

this is from Deer Island Wildlife Management Area in South Florida. I was trying to get both in focus- happy to get pretty close on the right hand one. Things are getting started- have a pair of painted buntings coming to the feeder already

Where's that? Google Maps has never heard of this place. (I'll be in FL in January and always interested in new places there.)
