Sandhill crane

Taking a break from photographing the Snowy Owls a good friend of mine decided we should try the resident Sandhill Cranes that were not to far away. As the light was poor and the Snowy owls were getting uneasy with all the rounds going off with the Duck hunters, it was worth a punt.

Just wonder if the blue should go and have a more uniform coloured BKD, but I quite like it?
