From my first folder of my trip down to meet Trenchmonkey (Will) and try to fill a few memory cards.
Crane a flying
#1
From the same burst
#2
#3
THREE wings in flight
A pair in early light
#4
Stop and go photography = Barbara was driving real slow at the Bosque and a very short stop later she continued to drive on and the Cranes had no idea I had stepped out cuz they were watching the car. I like the surprise look he had as he waved hi to me.
#5
The same character just before he went back into the bushes.
#6

Roger,
very nice shots & as usual you've nailed the focus & these are super sharp. My favorite is # 5. I've been waiting for a shot like this of them...

Hey Will, I think we have helped create a Photgrapher.. These images are just great. I like #'4 and 6. The light, on #4 does the trick, the dark background forces the birds right to you. Who wouldn't like a nice close-up portrait, as in #6?

The light was not a problem I asked Will to have the light change and he snapped his fingers and it was done
