Also whooping cranes. I’ve had them twice fly over head and they come in so fast compared to the other migrating birds – snow geese and cranes – it’s incredible. Seeing them far off, and you just “know”. Grab the camera and hope they fly over. They’re also a spectacular “good news” story of conservation.
I also watched a great grey owl hunt for voles for an hour, totally oblivious to us just sitting there. First time over ever wished for a shorter lens!
