    Hi Sparky,

    Nice photo indeed. I’d like to know what the original photo dimensions were — I mean, how did you crop it?

      Hi Tim, That’s uncropped. But I took many variations on the theme. Ice is gone now 😦

    Panning at 1/25 second is low percentage shooting but this one frame turned into a dreamy blur. [Crex Meadows, Grantsburg, WI; Oct 7, 2017; 1/25 second at f9; ISO 100] #sandhillcrane #crexmeadows #panningblur #creativewildlife #creativewildlifephotography #wisconsinwild #thephotonaturalist
    [Oct 22, 2018] Greater Sandhill Cranes stage at western Wisconsin’s Crex Meadows Wildlife Area each fall…and the day before a full moon, the photographers stage as well. [Canon 7D with Canon 400mm f5.6 lens; 1/250 second (too slow!) at f7.1; ISO1600] #crexmeadows #sandhillcrane #wisconsinwild #thephotonaturalist #fullmoonandbirds #fullmoonsilhouette
    [Oct 18, 2021] Made my semi-bi-annual trek to Crex yesterday afternoon for the fly-in of the cranes at moonrise. I think I had better luck three years ago but this was my fave. But the moon is sharper than the birds. Hard (impossible?) to get both in sharp focus. But the sounds of 100s of cranes calling as they come in to roost is always the highlight [Crex Meadows, Wisconsin; Canon R5 with Canon 100-500mm lens; 1/1000 second at f7.1 (should have been f16 but ISO was already in the thousands)] #crexmeadows #sandhillcrane #craneandmoon #fullmoon #fullmoonbird #wisconsinwildlife #wisconsinwildlife #thephotonaturalist #sparkystensaas
    Young Northern Goshawk over Hawk Ridge in Duluth, Minnesota (October 14, 2015). This is probably one of the best spots in the United States to see Goshawks. And the best time is during northwest winds in mid October in advance of a cold front. Maybe I’ll go out there today!

    Sniffing out supper. This gorgeous Red Fox seemed to be on the trail of some prey…Snowshoe Hare? Taken in mid October a few years ago this beauty already had its winter coat …and I love that super fluffy tail. [Superior National Forest, Minnesota; Canon 7D with Canon 400mm f5.6 lens; 1/640 second at f5.6; ISO 1600; handheld] #superiornationalforest #redfox #thephotonaturalist #minnesotawildlife
    High-key Hooded Oriole in Agave…or How to try and salvage a bird-against-gray-skies photo. [July 2021; Box Canyon in Santa Rita Mountains, Arizona; Canon R5 with Canon 100-500mm lens] #boxcanyon #birdingarizona #highkeybird #creativewildlife #creativebirdphotography #southeastarizonabirds #hoodedoriole #thephotonaturalist #sparkystensaas
