G Dan Mitchell<p>“Crane in Sunrise Light” — A lesser sandhill crane flies into the sunrise light, Central Valley. </p><p>Several things had to come together for this photograph of a lesser sandhill crane to work. Obviously, the bird had to fly above me at a relatively low height. That’s not as simple as it sounds, as cranes usually divert to avoid flying over people. The light was also special — it was the warmly colored light just after sunrise, when the sun is low enough to illuminate the underside of the bird. On top of that, the bird was flying toward the sun, so the light hits it almost head-on, while appears as side light from the camera position…continues: <a href="https://gdanmitchell.com/2025/03/05/crane-in-sunrise-light/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">gdanmitchell.com/2025/03/05/cr</span><span class="invisible">ane-in-sunrise-light/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/sandhillcrane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sandhillcrane</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birds</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/flight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>flight</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nature</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildlife</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a></p>

Yudderick & Co.<p>I know this photo doesn't look like much, but I was really excited. I was outside at my new house and heard strange bird noises that I didn't recognize. It sounded almost like a mourning dove crossed with a canada goose, coming from all directions at once. I was really puzzled until I looked up, and discovered that multiple flocks of sandhill cranes were flying right over me! :blobcatcheer2:​ The first flock was lower but I didn't think to get my camera out until after they had moved on.</p><p>Moving has been weird, because it feels like I moved quite some distance but then all the birds at the feeders are basically the same, so it's always nice when a truly new species makes an appearance.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Birds</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/USBirds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USBirds</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/SandhillCranes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SandhillCranes</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/SandhillCrane" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SandhillCrane</span></a></p>
