Went on a ride yesterday and got lucky enough to spot these Whooping Cranes. First time I've ever saw one in the wild. Just awesome.

Lucky you and btw, great photo of a beautiful bird. Wife & I saw a pair near Lake Apopka in Florida about 12 years ago, only time I've even seen them in the wild.

Great catch! I notice the heavy banding on the leg of the far bird.

Very nice and yes, I'm jealous. I've been trying to get photos of these guys forever. Seen a few, never close enough for photos. Nice download.
