Sandhill Crane by Pam Holnback

I really wanted to see what the sandhill cranes from the Monte Vista Wildlife Refuge looked like close up.  That's pretty hard to do unless you have a very long lens, which I don't.  My lens is great for normal shots and it zooms quite a bit.  At the refuge there were photographers with lenses that looked to be about 12 inches long.

The sandhill cranes make a very deep rolling trumpet and rattling sound.  And when thousands of them are creating this cacophony of music, it's like an outdoor orchestra.  You can google "sandhill crane sounds" and hear them for yourself!  I did!
