I hate you , darren :-)
just getting to see one that close let alone getting a nicely composed
result.... The two I saw at the Bosque in NM were so far away I could
only
see them with my strong binoculars.. they are two tiny white specs in a
frame when I was using a 400 mm lens.

However, there are less than 400 Whooping Cranes in the world, so they
are like finding the proverbial needle. They are also waaaay more shy.

I've been lucky enough to see at least one in 4 out of the past 7
years (getting photos 3 of them). This year was the best so far.

Great shot. Unusual to see them up there? Esp for this time of the
year. That 850mm effective focal length is crazy!

Thanks for all the comments.
I see this image was picked up by Flickr Explore today. My normally
paltry view count has zoomed to over 3K already this morning.

Comments and criticism welcome in equal measure (either here or on Flickr)
