One of the few images of a sandhill in flight with a mountain BG that I was able to compose at Bosque last November.

Bob: A very solid crane flight shot with the classic Bosque mountain background. Excellent sharpness. I always enjoy seeing the shadow on the inside of the wing. It seems to add depth for me. Very nice.
