My life is great whenever I can photograph a pair of Sandhill Cranes wherever I find them and yesterday I had these beauties in my viewfinder.<\/p>\n

\"PairPair of Sandhill Cranes in Wayne County, Utah (male on the left, female on the right)\u00a0 – Nikon D810, f9, 1\/1600, ISO 500, +0.3 EV, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

These cranes were feeding in a farmer’s field not too far away a dirt lane with other cranes further out in the field although they were too distant though to get high quality images of.<\/p>\n

Earlier I had seen cranes displaying but these two didn’t put on a show. I wish they had. Or maybe they did after we left them and went in search of other birds. The things that birds do after we leave them are probably very interesting!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
