nesting crane
Took this photo in my usual place in ne. iowa on 5/29

canon xsi tamron 200-500

f/9 iso 500 exposure 1/500 focal length at 500

the DNR was there because they wanted a close up photo to check on

her without any disturbance.

Great catch. I think the color is a bit off.

Is that a sandhill? Great perspective here. I like the way she's peeking out with one eye.

Nicely done--love how the crane is peeking at you through the foliage.
