Judges' comments:
Good color and subject matter; could be sharper; could crop out bird on far right
Maker's notes:

We live about 20 minutes south of the Necedah Wildlife Refuge, where they have had "Operation Migration" taking place for at least 10 years. For the last 3 years we have had Whooping Cranes on our land both in the Spring and in the Fall. They are amazing birds with a wingspan of 5'.
