Kudos to the voters and their knowledge. The first picture not showing a crane came in 34th. Among the herons, egrets and storks are some really great shots, and I was afraid one of them would win.

Withdrew my 26th place entry because of BAD VOTING!
I see plenty of OOF CRAP placed above me.
My entry easily should have been in the top 10.

I even had non partisan voting done by 10 different people, all 10 people had my pic selected in the top 5.

So you voters out there...kiss my ass!

Your right. I withdrew my herons. Save them for the heron challenge. Thanks for the reminder.

Several new egrets and herons entered along with a good number of
'who can tell?' photos.

I almost mistakenly submitted a picture of egrets because I saw so many egrets in this crane contest.

Don't feel bad. When I saw the title I thought to submit a photo of an industrial crane. :-/

Right now there are 18 entries and 6 of them are egrets.

Five entries so far and while they are lovely photos, none of them are of cranes but are instead egrets and herons.
