DSC00495_01Sandhill Cranes The Sandhill Cranes are back at their winter refuge outside of Centre Alabama. They congregate in the harvested fields between the dual metropoli of Rome and Centre along county road 22 just across the border from Georgia. There are close to 1000 birds this year.

DSC00500_01more cranes I experimented using a Sigma 600 mm zoom lens with an adapter for a Sony A7III.  The auto-focus, etc doesn't exactly work, but the camera is fine on manual.
