More from Bosque
I am finally making some time to work my way through more images. Here are a few more images from my Bosque trip.

This first one is another take off shot, but caught his wing tips dipping back into the water.

#5, I did actually photograph other birds also...here is a snow goose in flight

#6 This one was wondering why he was so different. This was actually some sort of goose. I don't think he was a juvie snow, but might have been. He might just have a different color pigmintation. But I liked how he seemed to feel out of place.

#7 This is what thousands of snow geese flying at you feels like

#9 And finally here is one NOT from Bosque. I got this the next morning back in Denver at Belmar, but really liked the light.

Sorry for such a large post.

Really sharp bif images.:toast:
With all these great sandhill and snowgeese images recently, I may have to make the 6 hour drive.

"Sorry for such a large post."
Are you kidding me?! These are a gold mine!
I like each and every one of these, but my favorites are of the snow goose, the heron and the #7 group shot, just because they're unique.
Exceptionally fine work, Kurt! :toast:

Kurt- these are great! That 500mm really delivered! Looks like it pays to wait til late Dec. or Jan. to make the trip when they have more birds.

Really nice set. I like Wing Dip, the Snow Goose, and the blast off. After what you and Steve put on here I'm sitting here kicking myself for not planning a trip to the Bosque this year.

Maybe if I have any vacation time left in December........

All are top notch Kurt, though I have a three way tie for my fav, 1, 7, and 9 i which I love the light as well! The wall of birds in 7 is impressive.

#1,#4 and 9 are my favorite with all of them being exceptional bird photos. I know how hard it is to get them just right. Awesome work!

All shots that Arthur Morris would be jealous of. Practice makes perfect and you are not far from there. Outstanding work, Kurt! :toast:
