on April 23, 2013Thanks for the approving comments, Robin and Judy! You're right, Robin -- the photo was taken at 6:32 PM (click on the "i" for the metadata). When the light is right, I usually end up staying until dark, even though it 's way past dinnertime. Yesterday evening, there was a moon rising in the east; that would have added an interesting element to a Sandhill photo if any of them had been in the air during that time. I did actually get photos of an Osprey with the moon as a backdrop, but the bird was slightly out-of-focus, and it wasn't carrying a fish.
