A close up look at an awesome display of nature's majesty - Sandhill Cranes taking off at sunrise.

As the sun starts rising, there is a lot of stirring. The first set of birds to take off are snow geese followed by the first few adventurous cranes. The cranes first stand up, call out to each other in a pleasant symphony, and start preparing to take off. Their take off seems almost effortless, First the wings start flapping. As they start to rise, the legs are almost floppy and lifeless. Then magically, as they gain height, they have the constant position of straight legs and spread-eagled wings. They look truly majestic in this position.
