07-07-12 Sandhill Cranes!

I drove all the way up to the Upper Mississippi River Wildlife and Fish Refuge near Green Island, Iowa which is across the River from the Savanna Army Depot.  I saw lots of Great Egrets and Great Blue Herons but didn't have any great photo opportunities.  On the way home I decided to swing into Lock and Dam 13 for the third night in a row and what do I see but two Sandhill Cranes walking along the roadside.

This Great Blue Heron was too far away to shoot with my 400mm so once again I attached the 2x converter and manual focused the now 800mm f11.
