Good picture. It looks like they are talking.

[Kathie]

Lovely to see. I saw them once when they were migrating through.

[Tremerryn]

What a wonderful sight. You have captured this beautifully.

[Laurie]

They are such a beautiful and graceful bird. I like watching them come in to land. It reminds me of airplanes.

[Thom Mitchell]

Looks like they're having a conversation!

[Ricky Anderson]

Wonder what they're talking about?

[Margo]

Interesting colours on their wings

[Janet B.]

Beautiful close-up, Jane! Wow...they're such impressive birds. We have some friends who are at the sandhill crane festival. They traveled all the way from Pittsburgh to see these beauties!

[Denise Wood]

FAVtastic :) So much like our brolgas!

[Harbie]

We saw the cranes in NM a few years ago. I would love to see them again. Great shot!

[Poppo Livy]

They look like a heavier version of our brolgas

[Rachel]

They are very impressive birds. Lovely dof.

Thanks so much for commenting on my photo of the two cranes. I liked that I could see their eyes and even the holes in their beaks, but honestly, what I liked best was the background. That's why I chose this one.
