Description
Two Sandhill Cranes were dancing in step with the late afternoon sun highlighting their backs. This image was taken in Woodbridge, California during the winter migration. We saw a family group of these birds from a distance. We parked the car and, taking my camera with no tripod to make myself as small as possible, over several hours I inched closer and closer to watch and get a better shot - all the while trying to be as unintrusive as possible. They allowed me to get within 150 feet and never indicated that I was bothering them in any way (or I would have retreated). These birds grow up to 5 foot tall, mate for life and travel in family groups. I am enthralled with them! I think they are practicing for "Dancing with the Stars" television program, don't you?
