    [July 2022] Red Rocks- Sarus crane (Antigone antigone) grooming

    This visit was actually my first time successfully photographing the species. Its an animal I just never gave the time of day. Unfortunately I think I tend to really fixate on the kinds of animals I know how to photograph well and end up not branching out.

    They do this ritual every 30 minutes or so. Makes for some dramatic photos. It a challenge to get the entire head in frame because the crane kept moving it but I'm glad I was able to succeed in capturing it.
