WIldlife Wednesday Hawk hunting

This hawk was was fast and far away in the Bosque del Apache. But he was very fun to track and TRY to get a good shot of!

Make Room…

Sandhill Cranes fly in families. So when one takes off the whole family does.

Taken at Bosque Del Apache.

Faraway Friday–Arctic Puffins!

Pack ’em in!

The next morning we went to a pond and jackpot! It seemed all the birds were there sleeping. These early birds were taking off to feed.

Frozen birds in Bosque del Apache

Note the bird on the far right is still frozen in the pond.

Also note that it was 17 degrees and said photographer was also frozen in place. It’s VERY hard to control your settings when it’s nearly pitch black and you can’t feel your hands!

A Week @ Bosque Del Apache NM

Sandhill Crane waking up in the ice at Sunrise. The birds had to break free of the ice that formed around them during the night before they could fly to the fields to graze.

I love to turn photos into pieces of art…
