Look at Me

Another image from the morning at the Rowe Sanctuary on the Plate River. We were in the blind for about 3 1/2 hours with them right in front of us. Then all of a sudden the river emptied. Two Bald Eagles came flying up the river. As we left for home, the fields were full of feeding cranes. All comments are welcome and appreciated.

This is good example for tokina lens which is not so common for birding. TFS.

Great pose and light, Richard. I think I'm seeing the noise from the iso 1000 in the larger image. You got some nice rusty looking plumage in this one.

a cool pose, Richard, and the light looks good too. I like your comp. I wish there was a little more separation from the other cranes, but that is easier said than done.
