You might look at this sunrise photo and feel that I used too much saturation in Photoshop. That isn't true. Even a mediocre sunrise can look spectacular through a super-telephoto lens. It allows the photographer to focus on a tiny bit of sky with the best color.
This Bald Eagle wasn't going to take any chances. He was in a tree near the road. I had less than a second to stop my vehicle and raise my camera to my eye before he had flown away.
The few Sandhill Cranes I saw today were far from the road. If I were in the blind on the left side of this photo, I would have a better photo. The cranes have hundreds of square miles to search for food so you could sit in a blind all day without a crane for miles. You have a better chance in the evening if you rent a blind near the river. The few blinds near the river cost hundreds of dollars to rent and the cranes often arrive after dark and leave before sunrise.
