Cranes

I always enjoy the end of the day at the Bosque.

Looking for different patterns as the cranes come into roost.

Nothing terribly special about this shot. Just enjoyed the pattern.

Canon 7D Mark II
500mm f/4
1/4000 @ f/4
ISO 160

Larger version included.

Nice shot Keith, thought it might be birds and reflections until I opened it up.

Great shot. Love the silhouettes, the delicate primaries and the fact that none of the bird's heads are obscured. Richard

Great looking sky to set off the birds -- like the peaceful general feel of the picture

Very nice pattern indeed Keith. Looks like you are already here? Or is this from last weekend? Whichever way, I will be at the outer ponds in the morning (possibly flight deck, but that has been slow last couple of mornings). Hope to run into you.

The jet black silhouettes with the gorgeous orange background makes for a very artistic image. It looks like it was hand painted. Nicely see, shot and processed, Keith!
