Sandhill in Early Light

Last week I made my sixth consecutive trip to Bosque, where I briefly met Keith Bauer and a few others I have seen there in the past. This was from my first morning there at the crane pools. This was my least productive of all my trips there, but I liked the warm color of the light that morning.

You do have beautiful light on that crane - it calls out "just after dawn"!! And a great pose too!
