Taken 08/14 in Central Florida. This mature crane and junior are part of a non-migratory trio I see on the nature trail behind my house almost daily. For those who don’t know about their call, I’d liken it to a metallic-sounding rooster! Over time they let me get close with some patience and proper positioning. This was shot with a 70-200mm but they have also given me some 35mm portraits in the past!

    I’m loving your photos! You might want to consider reducing excessively large file sizes though; the admins would probably appreciate it. This one is almost 100MB, and might be the largest static image file I’ve ever seen personally (I don’t work in graphics)

      Ah, wasn’t aware Lemmy was saving the whole file uncompressed. I’m linking directly to Flick so I figured they were hosting it all. Not familiar with the architecture on this platform. You would be surprised as this camera body is actually not the high resolution one in this lineup! Thanks for the info.
