This is an image of a Sandhill Crane landing in a cornfield midway through my five-day workshop in New Mexico on December 7. So many Cranes landed in the freshly cut corn that it was hard to isolate a single subject in the frame. We worked our way to the outside edge of the activity and worked on the birds outside the circling flight path, which limited the number of birds in the background.
