Sandhill Crane Silhouettes - Beth Young
California
One of the things I love about living in Sacramento is our proximity to the Pacific Flyway, a major north-south route for migratory birds, and the numerous wildlife refuges and seasonally flooded agricultural fields in our area that provide a temporary habitat for dozens of species of migrating birds. In winter, I like to venture out with my telephoto, and capture the antics of the sandhill cranes, elegant in flight and amusing when performing their dancing courtship rituals. https://www.optimalfocusphotography.com
