Sandhill Cranes

Thousands of Cranes stop in Monte Vista, Colorado, on their way from the Bosque del Apache to the greater Yellowstone area.

Crane in Flight

Riding Thermals

These 3 were part of a larger group that climbed so high on a thermal we could no longer see them.

Flock of Cranes

This is a small part of a flock that went airborn of several thousand birds!

Prairie Falcon

Saw this guy on the side of the road. I handheld my 600mm lens to get this shot. :)

Footprints in the sand

I found these tracks at the Great Sand Dunes National Park - they appeared to belong to a feline, probably a bobcat.

Wow....

See the small person in this image? The great sand dunes definitely live up to their name.
