wish I could have gotten closer. I would have gotten some nice landing shots.
By the way...I did not know that Sandhills are a "game bird" in North Dakota & other states:cry , but not here in Wisconsin .......yet

Nice set Dave - I really like #2 & #3

By game birds, I assume that you mean there are idiots out there that shoot cranes

thanks Al & yes. I was just reading about it in the paper. I don't know if they eat them.

Great set, Dave. I really like the second shot of them landing in formation. Nice catch.

Very nice shots Dave! You might want to try cloning the wing tip feathers on #8. You have nice eye detail in that shot!
