Sand Hill Crane..One Egg Hatched, One To Go

Great job Joe! I love seeing the little guys. I think I would have to track their progress and take shots every couple weeks. Nice work.

Adults and fledglings shot early this morning. Backlighting from the sun made a halo around the fluffy, fuzzyness of the feathers on the chicks.

Thanks Paul, I am doing as you suggested. See todays post.

Great shot, the backlighting on the chicks is perfect, really helps to show them off.

A lovely series of photographs of this charming family; I see them around but have not been lucky enough to see such new babies. The sun conditions in Florida are a constant battle, especially when it is bouncing off all the 'over the top' greenery that is part of our scenery, but sometimes there are shots that have to be taken, at whatever time of day :)
