Sandhill

From reports I had read earlier, I was a little concerned that the migration numbers might be low due to higher temps, drought and low corn crop yield, but was pleased to find out that Bosque is doing quite well, with about 10,000 Sandhills, 47,000 light geese and even more ducks. I've never had much success with BIF images, but was pretty pleased with this one, from earlier this week close the noontime light. Cropped for comp, larger image included.

Very nice. Sky is the perfect blue. Just a few wispy clouds and the bird is razor sharp with excellent detail.

Beautiful shot. I love the definition of the feathers in it.

Very nice light on this crane -- I like the clouds below the crane -- gives me a realistic feel that the is flying high
