Sandhill Cranes | Nature in Northern California
I enjoy shooting multiple genres. So a couple of years ago, I began learning to shoot wildlife - mainly birds. The Sandhill Cranes are one of the species that occupy our area during the late fall and winter. Armed with only a brief description the location in which I might find them, I headed out very early to locate and photograph them. It's hard to find birds, even very large birds, when it is still dark. But, I did.It was an overcast day with very flat light. No beautiful sunrise, but I did manage to see them and photograph them despite the dreary conditions.I really couldn't believe how BIG they are.
