A group of sandhill cranes take off past sundown to their roosting spot at the Bosque del Apache NWR. I was shooting long exposure panning shots and liked the combination of the cranes against the cornfield they were feeding on, especially in the evening light.
A sandhill crane banks as it lands in a cornfield at the Bosque del Apache NWR. I liked the topwing view of the crane framed by the Chupadera mountains in background.
