Sandhill Cranes, high overhead

Michigan Audubon's Crane Festival's this weekend, and as usual we'll be attending this afternoon. But we got a preview of sorts late yesterday when this rather raucous flock passed by.

I had the new pocket camera in hand, so I pointed it skyward to capture this less-than-ideal photo. I'll take my Oly E-M1 and its teleconverter to the Big Marsh today, and expect better pix. But this one's kinda fun.
