'Morning Launch' Large On Black
A portion of the wintering population of Sandhill Cranes at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. I love the running crane with the bit of splash.
This photo was taken on November 21, 2006 in Tiffany, New Mexico, US, using a Nikon D70.

Excellent silhouette. Awesome light and color. To have seen this in person must have been amazing. Great clarity of the running crane.
