Beautiful morning to be out and had a very close encounter with a pair of Sandhill cranes just south west of Cambridge, saw them flying out of the marsh and low to ground by a field, I headed around in front of the area and waited,........... and they walked right pass me 20ft or less

Wow! Sounds like one of those magical birding moments that make all the other unsuccessful hours we spend worthwhile. Lucky you!

Great pictures, I don't think I have ever seen one, but I will be looking now.

Sometimes you need a little help to get the best shot.

Awesome Dave. They have been pretty hit or miss this year. But this is sure a "hit" moment!!
