Stephen > Yet more shots of a whooping crane under cloudy skies. The clouds had rolled in from Aransas Bay and had decided to stay even though the whooping cranes were being a bit more cooperative with the photographs. I suppose asking for nice light and cooperative whooping cranes was a bit much. :-) This one was on the outer banks of Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, November 20, 2007.
Stephen > The clouds were still hanging around but our boat guide/operator was able to get us very close to this whooping crane. Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, November 20, 2007.
Stephen > Tough light, but I like the way the plumage of the head stands out. This pair is still working its way down the shoreline foraging for prey and they are beginning to separate a bit again. Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, near Rockport, Texas, November 20, 2007.
Stephen > This pair I caught close to shore in poor light, but there is some nice eye contact. Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, near Rockport, Texas, November 20, 2007.
Stephen > The pair is still foraging. One seems to be preening now. Light and shadows are still harsh, but we were close to the pair. Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, near Rockport, Texas, November 20, 2007.
Stephen > Momentarily looking down at something that caught its eye. Whatever it was, it didn't go try to catch it as it pulled up and started slowing strolling on after looking down. Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, in harsh aftertoon light, November 20, 2007.
Stephen > This whooping crane was captured toward the end of the day. The sunlight was lower and the shadows were harsher, but the shot is still a nice one. The whooping cranes at times would simply stand perfectly still while either contemplating us or what to do next. At other times of course they wouldn't stop moving. Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, November 20, 2007.
Stephen > I was able to isolate this adult as it walked away from its mate a bit sounding what I assume to be an alarm call. November 20, 2007.
Stephen > This juvenile is from the same family that we had been observing at Aransas NWR. It had separated itself from the male and female but not by much. November 20, 2007.
