Images in this gallery will be of very recent photography outings, and going back to around 3 to 4 months. The date the image was taken will be on the image title.
10-20-09 ASC-9028: Sandhill Crane Silhouette-Crex Meadows WMA near Grantsburg WI is the place to be from the middle of October to November freeze-up. Sandhill Cranes will use this area for a stop-over on their migration to places further south. During the peak there could be 8000 to 10000 cranes feeding and resting before continuing their journey. On this visit, it was a cloudy overcast late afternoon when this group of cranes flew directly overhead, as I tracked them through my viewfinder and the instant I saw all of the wings being parallel I took this image.
