Beautiful capture.
That blue tracking band looks like it has a transmitter.

Every Sand Hill Crane in the area has a transmitter. These birds Held up interstate 10 for years because they live in the area. There is no telling how many millions of dollars each one of these birds has cost us over the past years and continue to cost us, Jeff

It's a beautiful shot.
If it was mine I would try and rubber stamp the bands off the bird to make it look more natural and print it. IMO, This is one for your commercial website.

I love the texture and detail and feel it to be a great shot. The bands are a tad distracting but I still enjoy the composition.

Fantastic detail in the feather. Nice exposure!
