Thanks guys, obviously I enjoy these and pretty much all birds as well, I think that I spent more on my gear than my last car.... just kidding but it is closer than I would like to admit.

I went out to shoot eagles today and got a few from really far away that will be in a different post, but while waiting for the eagles a couple of Sandhills came to visit. A couple of these birds got so close that the head shot in this series has not been cropped. I know a few of the images have been clipped but I was shooting with a tripod and chose not to move the further back to get the entire bird in the frame, lazy I guess. One thing I learned about the Sandhills today is that the red on the top of their heads is not feathers.

Fine shots, the ones I see are just feeding or grooming.

I was pretty lucky to see them playing with each other, generally like you said they are just slowly walking along feeding. I was also very lucky to get them flying low, generally when they have the sky as background exposure on them is very difficult. Thanks for your comments.

These are great. The average person who doesn't know about them would be highly surprised by their very large size.
These are very large and tall birds.
Simply impressive images...
