A sandhill crane preening itself. (5 years and 605 days ago)
How did you do to publish an image larger than 5000 pixels wide while the limit is 3500? Did you pay bribes? 
I wan't paying attention when I uploaded the image. I'm surprised it went through too.
Howdie stranger!

Four sandhill cranes standing in the shallow water of Lake Myakka (5 years and 666 days ago)
I wonder if these mate for life? Do you know? Canada Geese do. This group of gorgeous guys seem to be posing for you and their eyes have been caught in the stare. Good marginal space all around, sharp, well contrasted, natural colouring. The kind of image that makes one pause and slows the beating of one's heart. Nice nice nice
Thank you for the comments. Yes, from what I have read, I do believe that they mate for life.

Sandhill cranes preparing to roost for the night as the sun sets over Myakka Lake near Sarasota, Florida (5 years and 738 days ago)
Good silhouette and the nice subtle color works well in this

Even the beautiful Sandhill crane can be caught in a bad and ugly moment. It should be pointed out that this is not an aggressive expression ...He's yawning. (5 years and 2743 days ago)
I'm glad you clarified the situation of the photo, I thought he/she was telling you off or defending its territory or babies or something...You still managed to make it look cute with this photo, I have to try hard to see it as "ugly." Well done!
Looks fairly ugly to me. 
Great perspective though.
Gr8 shot...

You have a couple of sensor dust particles (NO NOT THE BIRDS) just above the horizon line towards the right. A bit of a glow around the crane, I'm wondering if you dodged this a bit. It is a romantic scene and a great catch.
