I drove to New Mexico last Saturday, spent Sunday and Monday at Bosque del Apache NWR south of San Antonio and drove back to Denver on Tuesday. It was a little late in the year to see the largest number of migrating Sandhill Cranes and Snow Geese but there were still enough birds around to make the trip worthwhile. A few of my favorite shots taken during the visit are shown below.
