The Bosque November 2018
| The Bosque Del Apache is a beautiful place with abundant wildlife. Our daughter Samantha accompanied us on this trip. We went on Thanksgiving weekend 2018. Most of the birds you see in the pictures are either sandhill cranes or snow geese. |
|
|
| First sandhill cranes we saw when entering. |
|
|
| We all took a shot of this crane. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| There are many ponds and all are crowded. |
|
|
| The glow from the setting sun gives the shots special flavor. |

|
|
|
| As the colors change as the sun rays change direction everything you see changes with it. |

| The end of day one. We got up at 4:30 and got there a couple of hours before sunrise and got the pictures below. |
|
|
| The moon was looking west over one of the ponds and the picture below was east at first light. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| It seemed like getting birds in the right position in relation to the moon was almost impossible. This one was pretty good. |
|
|
| We weren't alone and look at that glass. |

|
| Snow geese all the way down! |
|
|
| It looked to me like a fighter from a Star Wars movie. |

| Local turkey. |
