Sandhill chick (aka Colt) showing off its beautiful plumage. The last picture compares its feather with its parent's.

Thank you SB, Carolina, Sailormom and Annie.
My daughter and I have shot many sandhill cranes but haven't gotten any as impressive as yours. I showed her your post and she asked how far or how close you were from
them and what camera you used. Would appreciate getting this information, dyleel

Annie,
These are shot around 10-15 feet from them. My camera is Nikon D750, with Nikon 28-300mm lens. You can get the details from the EXIF data if you download the pictures.
In my neighborhood the Sandhill Cranes are not at all concerned about people. So I hang around for 20 minutes taking pictures while being ignored. I chose these with over 100 shots.

Thank you dylee for such a prompt response. I use a Nikon D7000. I'm just not fortunate enough to have cranes that close. We've only photographed them out in corn fields.
