Twilight Patrol -- Sandhill Cranes (Grus canadensis); Ladd Gordon Waterfowl Complex, Bernado, NM [Lou Feltz]

            I was pleasantly surprised during the editing session to find how sharp this image was. You can actually see through the nostril openings in the upper mandible as this near bird parades just in front of our blind.
