We always arrive at a zoo, or in this case a Wildlife State Park, a few minutes before opening to ensure we are the first to encounter the animals. In this case we knew there were a pair of endangered Whooping Cranes in a captive breeding program. I already had my camera setup with the optimum focal length lens, a Canon 70-200mm, and a Canon speedlight with a diffuser attached. This beautiful bird still had it's head tucked in under its wing. Photo is being published in the current issue of Range Magazine.
