Thank you. These were shot in Waterloo Recreation area. They aren't as spooky as the ones near us, but they still wanted you to keep your distance. We have seen this pair with the chick before so hopefully I will see it again.
Looks like a very nice spot (I googled it). I was "somewhat" in the area over the 4th - - Gun Lake, visiting my son and grandkids :)

Great photos. Love those little chicks!
Thank you. We have cranes all over around here, but I think that is the youngest chick I have ever seen. He is pretty cute.

The Waterloo-Pinkney area is really nice. It has one of the longest hiking trails in lower Michigan, 36 miles. In the fall the cranes tend to congregate in fields around here.

Any and all suggestions to improve my bird photography skills are welcome and appreciated.
These are taken in three different locations on my way home from work today. I was using the Nikon D200 and a Nikon 70mm-300mm lens. The flight shots were taken handheld the others were taken resting on the car window.
