Synopsis:
I did a morning and afternoon shoot at Quivira NWR. The morning was far more productive, where I photographed an amazing 11 Whooping Cranes in one spot foraging in the flats on the very north end of Quivira NWR. I also had some good shooting of Sandhill Cranes flying out along with some Bald Eagles.

Thirteen Whooping Cranes photographed at Quivira NWR in one shooting session! 17 November 2016
I spent the entire day (well, except for lunch in Great Bend) at Quivira NWR photographing birds. The morning shoot was very productive, including 11 Whooping Cranes in one spot! The large group was comprised of 9 adults and 2 juveniles from this summer hatch. Included in this post are two images of the entire group shot. They only congregated close in like this for a brief moment in time before scattering out again and then eventually lifting off and flying out to the south.
