Sandhill Cranes and Moon

Following our wedding day we took a day "off" to rest and finish preparing for our honeymoon trip.  On Friday we hit the road and by Saturday afternoon we were in Nebraska to see the Sandhill Cranes.  Unfortunately we arrived in the middle of a late winter storm.  The winds were out of the north and snow was blowing everywhere.  It was very cold.  Needless to say, not the best of conditions for enjoying the awesome spectacle that is the crane migration.  We made the best of it, however, and still had loads of fun.  We saw thousands upon thousands of Sandhill Cranes and, something we weren't expecting, countless numbers of Snow Geese!  This shot of a group of cranes flying in front of the moon at sunset is my favorite image during our time spent in Nebraska.  Tomorrow morning we head west across Colorado towards Utah and, hopefully, better weather!
