I just completed a new album entitled "Sandhill Cranes." The cranes are my favorite bird to photograph. They are tall, statuesque and graceful in flight. Each spring and fall they migrate between Alaska, Florida and New Mexico. I am not sure which birds go where, by they come to Alaska in the thousands. My favorite spots to photograph them include Creamer's Field, a bird sanctuary in Fairbanks, AK, The experimental farm in Wasilla, AK, an open field near the airport in Wasilla, AK, and Potter Marsh, just on the outskirts of Anchorage, AK. I am told that the birds can fly as high as 20,000 feet as they pass through the Alaska range on their way north or south. Imagine the endurance to fly with the limited oxygen, high winds and cold of 20,000 feet. There is more to come from this summer's images, so keep looking and enjoy.
