These cranes don't live in this area. They winter in the Gulf of mexico area and South. They summer in Alaska and Siberia. Just Lucky to find one passing through Iowa. My wife and I saw this one with another in a field as we were driving and stopped. about 50 yards away. Grabbed the camera (always have it). And got a shot of what I could before they were gone. I'll probably never get to see one again. Wiish the photo was a little better. Cropped a good bit but not resized. We got what we could.

Nice shot! It is always cool to actually get a capture of something you might not see again!

Yes it it. Looks just like the one in the National Audon Society Field Guide To Birds.
 
Sweet. Thanks for the confirmation. The colors and habitat I found it in matched when I was trying to figure it out..

I was on my way to feed the chickens when two teenage owls were ending their day as I was beginning mine. Strapped on my 90-250 plus ec14 on my "antiquated" E5. We suffer so much!















 
Yes, I know someone will say they aren't very good but I'm sure some of you will share my delight in geting these two Swifts and a House Martin, especially with a humble 70-300. Definitely my best to date. This has to be one of the ghardestr things that you can do with a camera

Also 2 half decent shots of a Common Tern and a Mute Swan
