Beautiful capture, Debra. The tall grasses provide just the right background for this very striking bird. I had the pleasure of spotting a family of them down a field a year or so ago when they were headed back south. It was the first time I had seen them and boy was it exciting just to see them and get some photos too. Hope you'll see more of them in days to come.

Thanks so much Heather love your story as well. I am not sure if the crane will settle in that exact area but I am sure it will be close by. I will have to read up on the Sandhill Crane.

Nicely composed Debra. I sure hope you luck out and find that you have a nesting pair nearby, it would be awesome to document as the new family evolves. This shot is amazing. Well done

Beautyful shot Debra. I like very much the composition you've made here. Good lighting that make the bird stands out beautyfully. Appreciate also the contrasting black shadow line that split the photo. It gives the tall grasses some kind of moving effect. Very well done.

Thank you very much Yves, I appreciate your feedback always. I was so excited to spot the sandhill crane. I am not sure if this was just a stop over as I have not heard the crane for a couple of days now.
