Sandhill Crane Migration part 2
After some breakfast and an additional cup of coffee, we headed back to the visitor center to catch the bus for the daytime tour to photograph the Sandhill Cranes in the fields as they were feeding. The bus was half full so we could all line up on one side of the bus to observe the cranes. For equipment, I brought my camera, a Sony A7R4, a 200-600mm Sony lens, and a 50mm lens. Monique brought her 200-600mm lens and her trusty 70-200mm Sony lens. We were also warned, before we left, to use the restrooms now as there would be no pit stops for the next couple of hours or so. Then we were off.
Sandhill Crane Migration
Getting a chance to photograph the sandhill crane migration along the Platte River has been on my bucket list for a long time. This year we had a chance to check that checkbox. We drove out to North Platte, Nebraska for this adventure. We had signed up with Dusty Trails, LLC, a company that offered guided tours of the migration.
Equalizer Lake Shorebirds
was another fine Colorado spring morning. The sun was peeking over the horizon, The skies were only partly-cloudy and the wind was blustery and in excess of 20 miles per hour. Ok, maybe not so fine with that wind but, it is Colorado in the spring. We decided that we wanted to photograph some shorebirds this morning. We had a couple of locations in mind.
