We just returned from another 4 day trip of adventures, this time to southeast Minnesota. One of the highlights along the way was a visit to Crex Meadows Wildlife Area in Grantsburg, Wisconsin. For the past few year's we've made a trip to Crex to see the Sandhill Cranes as they stop over on their migration south for the winter. Like last year, we saw a lot of cranes during our visit. This time, though, we had a nicer morning with really dramatic light. I was able to capture some of the cranes as they flew in front of some really colorful clouds. After making some flight images we found a nice grouping of cranes that was very close to the road. Among them was a young crane that hadn't yet developed the red on its head. It also still had quite a few brown feathers which were absolutely beautiful in the warm morning light!
