Sandhill Crane Crosses Wet Mud Flats at Dawn
Pale gray light from a midsummer dawn falls across a tidal inlet in Washington, illuminating the wet surface of the mud flats. A sandhill crane stands in deep shadow, its body angled against a side wind while a rim of cool light traces the curve of its neck and head. Raindrops rest on the gray feathers and the dark silt beneath the bird's long legs. In the distance, a flock of smaller birds scatters along the water's edge, their forms blurring against the mist. Fine droplets hang from the tips of nearby reeds, which bend slightly under the pressure of the wind. The wet earth reflects the overcast sky, creating a seamless boundary between ground and horizon.
