This day-to-night photograph of the Sandhill Cranes is from a series on bird. In 2017 I travelled to the Rowe Sanctuary in Nebraska to photograph the Sandhill Cranes at the Platte River, a rest-stop for birds halfway through their migratory journey. I photographed from a bird blind in an area I scouted, and it was built several weeks prior to the actual shoot. The blind was 25 feet high, and I remained in the blind with my assistant for almost 36 hours.
