Wary Male Sandhill Crane

in Fall Creek, Wisconsin, he keeps a watchful eye on me
as I approach as close as I can get without getting soaked

Sand cranes are even more nervous and wary than egrets so I consider it to be a near miracle that I was able to get close enough to capture him so well with my 50x zoom telephoto on a Panasonic Lumix. This picture did not require an inordinate amount of cropping, so its final resolution is adequate, I think.

Sorry, it's a sandHILL crane after the sandhills natural area in, I think, South Dakota, is it?
