Sand Hill Cranes
Nov 9, 2015 10:41:09 #
Went out with some photo buddies Sat. to a resting area for the Sand Hill Cranes. There were about 10,000. They are on their way to Florida. We were there at sunrise when they start to fly out to local farms to feed.

You did well with the 70-200mm Jim. There was a time I thought that was a long lens. Now I think of mine as a Medium Telephoto. My longest is a 70-300mm and I chafe when trying to get close-ups even at that distance. I needed a longer lens.

That lens will be quite sufficient when you come to Florida in February. See you then.

Thanks Bob. My partner was using a 70-200 with a 1x telly and that early in the day he was having a hard time getting enough light.

That is my quest Randy to catch birds in flight.

They look graceful in flight Jim, very enjoyable set. :D
They are very graceful Sylvia. What with their long necks and leg and the huge wings. They seem to just slip through the air.
