Sandhill Cranes have arrived in Lodi.  I went to Woodbridge Ecological Reserve yesterday with my new Sony 200-600 and got their just before sunrise.  There are hundreds of cranes there now, if you can visit.  The Lodi Crane Festival is also going on this weekend and next.  I got there before their official tours began.

Great images!! You've inspired me to get down to Lodi this week. What settings do you use to attach so many pics?? I always have problems trying to attach more than 3 at a time.

Great shots Andy!  I guess it's time for me to start thinking about a trip to Bosque del Apache this year but seems like the rest of the year is already pretty full...

Up roaming around on Vancouver Island in BC for a little over a week.  Thick underbrush but I was lucky enough to catch this sow and her cubs hauled up out of the river feeding on a salmon.

Hi Ronin

 

I'm copying the BB Code from where I store my images online at Smugmug

Hope that helps!

 

Have fun visiting the SHC in Lodi!   Note there's the Lodi Crane Festival next weekend and they are doing 830am tours.

 

On a side note, I went back home via Yuba City and there's tundra swans and geese showing up in the rice fields down by Woodruff Lane.    I'm planning to catch the night before full moon (98.5%) rising there next Monday at 453pm with sunset at 456pm.

 

I took these shots in 2011

Very nice shots Andy.

Is there a close place to camp near Woodbridge ER?

Thanks

I was on Woodruff Ln 2 weeks ago on my way to Trinity Alps and it was obviously too early for the Cranes. Think I'll check out Sutter NWR. Might be less crowded than Woodbridge. Looks like you're having fun with the new lens. Keep posting pics!!
