This is one of those wildlife encounters that happened by complete accident. the morning this was taken I was actually set out to photograph migrating waterfowl but it turned out to be unsuccessful. as the light kept getting better and better I began to get discouraged, that quickly changed as a flock of American pipits flew in right in front of me. the colours and the atmosphere were stunning so I knew I had to capture it and do these beautiful scene in front of me justice. I lined up a composition to include the wind turbines in the background to raise awareness on how manmade structures are taking over habitats of all kinds of wildlife.
