Sandhill Cranes
Coming in for a landingSandhill cranes on their approach
The sandhill cranes are back in Northeastern Alabama. These are off CR22 west of Rome. Impressive, big, noisy birds.
cranes in field
This year they didn't come as close to the road as they sometimes do. While my new lens is very sharp, one of the troubles is that autofocus tends to pick out the brush behind the birds, and it's difficult to use manual focus while handholding a massive instrument. (Note to self - bring your monopod next time.)
in flight
Still, I could get some pretty decent images. Especially of the birds in flight - which just didn't work with the older lenses.
