I've only seen one that wasn't in a zoo.
OTOH, I was well into my 30s before I ever saw a Bald Eagle in the wild.

I've never seen one, even though I'm three hours away from one of the

Thanks Gonz! We get over a 1/2 million Sandhill Cranes through here
every spring.

However, there are less than 400 Whooping Cranes in the world, so they
are like finding the proverbial needle. They are also waaaay more shy.

I've been lucky enough to see at least one in 4 out of the past 7
years (getting photos 3 of them). This year was the best so far.

Great shot. Unusual to see them up there? Esp for this time of the
year. That 850mm effective focal length is crazy!

Thanks for all the comments.
I see this image was picked up by Flickr Explore today. My normally
paltry view count has zoomed to over 3K already this morning.

Comments and criticism welcome in equal measure (either here or on Flickr)
