Bosque Del Apache
Hi everyone and sorry I haven't been around lately. Haven't picked up the camera in a few weeks and was waiting for my first Bosque trip. The bird counts are really good right now.
Cranes: 15K
Light Geese: 56K
Ducks: 90K

Here are just a few quick shots I have made it through. I have tons of images I haven't even looked at yet, so will be posting some again later. Hope you enjoy what I have so far.

These are beautiful Kurt. The warm, low-angled light makes them really pop. My favorites are #5, the curve of the mountain in the background frames the crane wonderfully and #4 the catchlight in the eye and the open beak gives the crane a whimsical expression.

Really nice series. The light and sense of motion on the first snow good is especially good.
