Sandhill Crane is Heading Toward the Marsh

A luck is a big part in bird photography. Every time I am at Bear River I hope that with a pinch of luck my trip would be worthwhile and I see a bird I have never seen before or meet again a Short-eared Owl or a Coyote. 

Seeing a Sandhill Crane and following him to the marsh was like a dream that came true.



Passing by and for a minute posing and lifting his wings as if he going to perform a courtship dance.






Something captured his attention in the water.





Another stop.  How I love his elegant posture with wings up. How beautiful and dignify he is!





Walking slowly not paying attention to Avocet.





It's time for cleaning. 





Leaving this place and heading toward the marsh. It's a long walk to the marsh and at some point the Crane will take flight to get there.

See you at the marsh!

  2. Preciosa la grulla, parece como si estuviera danzando. La tranquilidad de las aguas ha facilitado esos buenos reflejos.
    Un abrazo y cuidate.

  6. Con sus alas abiertas está imponente, mostrándose orgulloso. Todo un acierto el incluir su reflejo en el agua, le añade mucho interés a las fotografías.
