Returned to Necedah NWR today. These guys are huge as far as cranes go. You can tell they are a protected species by all the jewelry they wear.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    It was nice to capture something relatively unique.

    But, then again, who needs another white bird to drive you nuts with exposure.:D
