Thank you, Alan! They are sort of early here this year. I didn't actually expect them, but still...

Beautiful shots. Well done, Cog.

They are Sandhill cranes. I saw about 10 today

Where did you take these photos?

Oh! Forget it: you already answered that question! Not in Europe (Belgrade?!). They are too dark for the usual color of the Sandhill cranes. Doesn't matter - you know better!

When they feed their offspring they use to rely (mostly!) on dragonflies. Obviously in your region (and no offspring!) they are more Maximilian friendly

They are a sub-species of headless Cranes.

In Maine we have a town named after every single town people emigrated from. And countries. Below is a real sign.

Just WOW! Well done Cog

Not really great, but at least some photos of your young peregrines.
I really hope, I'll get some good next year...

I think you did the best possible. Any single exposure would under and /or over expose. Even trying HDR, you have the movement, so I think it can't work. It's definitely cool, because I've never seen one.

I like the light effect at the end of its feathers.
