My Only SHC of the Year In Flight

[Jim Fenton]

Same subject as I posted yestersday in the fall field here in MA.

This is likely the only Sand Hill Crane I'll see this year and I couldn't resist a flight shot.

Nikon D300s, 600VR, TC14EII, ISO 640, f 6.3 1/3200 CW metering, NearUniWB, +.7 EV

Pretty impressive for 600 and 1.4x Jim. Great details and wing position.

[Danny J Brown]

Picture perfect flight shot.....and no cornstalks!!:)

Excellent pose Jim and I love the comp. :) Great work!

[Doug Brown]

Very nice flight shot Jim! I could see a tighter crop here, taking a little off the bottom and the left.

Great flight shot Jim, I like the feather detail on the near wing and back as well as the clear and sharp head detail.
