I took these pictures of ducks and cranes on a recent afternoon at Cosumnes River Preserve. I used a Nikon D300s with a telephoto 80-400 mm lens. It was a pleasure to see a day of sunshine after weeks of rain and ground fog. Cosumnes River Preserve is located on Franklin Blvd between the Twin Cities and Walnut Grove-Thornton exits on Interstate 5. The nearest town is Galt, California.
