Sunrise April 14, 2007. Sandhill Crane count 2007.


This is the way our day started. My wife and I were surveying this field as part of this years Sandhill Crane count. We were on-site before any daylight and got to enjoy the sunrise.


At this point we hadn't seen any Sandhill Cranes in the survey area.

Shortly after this photo was taken I noticed Sandhill Cranes in a field to the west of our location. We decided to move our vantage point to get a better look at the cranes. The reddish/orange tint on the wings in the photos below is from the rising sun which was now at my back (east) and higher in the sky.
