The second item on my wish list was the big Crane. I fully expected to see some in the fields at a distance. What we got was a family with one chick on the side of the road! They didn't seem much perturbed by the big noisy trucks that raced back and forth, but us stopping on the verge of the road made them a bit anxious.

Parents showing the baby how to find food
Such long legs!
At a pond nearby, several common ducks were gathered. I was mainly interested in the families of Mergansers on the opposite bank. A bit far for my lens in any situation.

A raptor flew by, and all hell broke loose
The Latham's Snipes, オオジシギ sure like those poles!
Despite the often-perfect circumstances, I wasn't able to take sharp photos. My fingers trembled, my arms were shaking, I could not concentrate. Such pain!
