She'll Never See Me In Here

The elusive sandhill cranes hang out in a large field that I pass on the way into town. The way it works is that (a) if I do not have my camera, they are nearer the road and easily photographed OR (b) if I do have my camera with the long lens, they hide in the grasses about as far away from the road as they can. Guess what happened here!
Thank you for such a positive response to my recent setting sun! I took it with a superzoom and yes, it was 'real.'
Love your title. Great find and capture.

Always the way! Still a great shot with its head peeking out.

Well we were always going to spot you with that red crest! Well spotted and captured

LOL! The eyes of a 365er will find everything. =)

Neat capture :)
August 23rd, 2021  
love the red bit
August 23rd, 2021  
looks like a fine bird - I rather like seeing him in his full setting here. A few poppies and he would have been very well disguised.

Lovely. Fav

My first thought - it's sneaking through the grass. But that red face gives it away.
August 23rd, 2021  
Oh I have experiences like that.
August 23rd, 2021  
Lovely

Love the peek-a-boo aspect

Hard to hide with that red face! Birds are so tricky.
August 24th, 2021  
Nice focus on the crane…they can be so elusive!
August 24th, 2021  
You got it!
August 24th, 2021  
Excellent!
August 24th, 2021  
He looks marvellous hiding there - he didn't know that we can see his interesting facial features!
August 24th, 2021

What an effective composition to make that crane pop -- I wish I could see one, too!
August 27th, 2021  
(c) you had your long lens but they were not hiding in the grass so you were able to get a great picture!
