2014 Sandhill crane Migration
Contest Number: 101 Contest Theme: Best of 2014 Lens: Sigma 150-500 Camera: Pentax K-x Shutter Speed: 1/200s Aperture: F10

Each year nearly 450,000 Sandhill cranes use the Platte River Valley in Nebraska as a 6 week stop over. During this time they will gain up to 20 % of their body weight for the long flight to Siberia. It is there they will spend their summer. This pic shows an early morning gathering in the fog of the Platte River.
