Sandhill cranes at sunset (#1 of 4) - a photo on Flickriver

Sandhill cranes at sunset (#1 of 4)

            When I was on my way home from going to see the Anna’s hummingbird up in Lake County, Indiana, I decided to go to Jasper-Pulaski Fish & Wildlife Area to see if I could catch a good sunset for photographing sandhill cranes when they come in to the “crane meadow” around sunset before going to the marshes to roost for the night. I tried that one day in early December, but the sunset was not pretty at all that evening. This time the sunset was great, but the flight pattern most of the cranes were using did not bring them as close to me as I would have liked. With image cropping, though, I was able to get some nice silhouette shots of cranes against the lovely, colorful cloud patterns.
