Description
I spotted this sandhill crane while taking a spring walk along the shore of Crystal Lake in Shasta County, California, USA. When I first saw him he was on the opposite shore from me but shortly after he flew across to be with his mate I hadn’t even noticed yet. I captured this frame right before he touched down in the grass. Just a few days earlier I photographed a great egret and marveled about the grace with with it flew. The sandhill is certainly a bit light in the grace department, at least upon landing, but they get the job done.
