For a professor there is nothing more satisfying than to get the grades for the semester in and then head out for a morning of photography. Arrived at Hiawassee wildlife refuge before sun rise and stayed all morning. Here are some of the morning's results.

Thank you for looking. Comments, crits and nits are welcomed and appreciated.




Wings down #1






Wings up #1






Wings down #2






Wings up #2

all great bif shots, and the tight formation and threesome flight are standouts worthwhile of magazine prints. :-)

i can only observe the sandhills from a distance around here due to lots of private farm lands.

#5 has to be the "special" image from the set! Hope you have some time off to continue your shooting. Don

Great series, Braam; these guys (and girls) are incredibly striking, and these are terrific IF shots. Many people drive many hours (BdA) to see these beautiful birds; you're fortunate to have some close by. (I'm not so far away, either, and look forward to trying to photograph these guys next month at Wheeler).

Braam,
As I was slowly scrolling down, the images seemed to be getting better and better.
I have to conclude that the set really works.
And your "close formation" images are good beyond description.
Amazing post.

I can relate to the feeling of getting an arduous task complete and then the joy of spending the afternoon with some quality wildlife viewing. You came back with some wonderful shots of these big birds Braam and shot them without the crowds You did a wonderful job capturing their grace in flight with photos that are also technically excellent
