First day of fall and we got to see some the first sandhills to arrive in the Central Valley CA, near Lodi. Could not find any last week now there are around 300 in the area. D50 with Sigma 170-500mm Lens. My D300 was giving me problems with autofocus so had to use the backup.

    Looks like it is raining cranes in those first two pictures - and not a cloud anywhere to be seen! The last picture is my favourite, though. Nice captures!

    They were sailing down from High altitude. Looks like they are standing in the air.
