3 Lesser Sandhill Cranes

Had the amazing opportunity to get really close to three wild Lesser Sandhill Cranes last weekend during a birding class. They usually don't like to get too close to people, but this group liked us

GREAT shots. The last one and #2 are stunning.

Good series. Some are very easy to approach, others aren't. Just depends on their exposure to humans.

Thanks. That's good to know. I will share this with other birders in the class.

Great series! Where was this at? Are they already up in Cananda?

And did you get these with your 400? with the 1.4?

Thanks. It's in Reifel Bird Sanctuary in Delta, BC. About a 40 min drive from downtown Vancouver. I have more pics coming up from that site.

All taken with the 400. Some with the 1.4, some without. The lens take the converter pretty well, and auto focus works great too. That's when pins are taped, of course.
