I noticed the perfect weather forecasted and the full moon so I couldn't resist the temptation to do one more Sandhill Crane photo op this fall.

I have way too many of the classic flight , dancing, and landing images. I really wanted to get some images with the Sandhills interacting with the full moon (moonset) at sunrise . This was my goal.

You caught some hard-to-get arrangements of the sandhill groups against the moon.

The last is a wall hanger for sure

Your first image is really special. All of them are well done.

Neat set.

Every image here is totally great! Love'em all.
