Sweet take, good job. Just checked out your gallery, you have some nice shots there. Welcome to Birdforum.Net, look forward to seeing more from you.
 
Fantastic, sharp closeup, Phantom! Your work is very nice, especially the Sandhill Cranes image! Keep 'em coming! :t:
 
I know they are out there. I've heard them. Never seen them and I want an image of one. Good one here. Well done. :t: :t: :t:
 
Here, here... I agree... Really want to see them, but for right now they are just a mythical bird to me; never seen one! Thanks for sharing this one though! Nice work!
