Sandhill Crane ~ Back from a January New Mexico trip, including a day at Bosque del Apache. Enjoyed seeing the numerous Sandhill Cranes, and photographing a few. I loved their melodious call as they fly and communicate with each other.
Snow and Ross's Geese ~ This image demonstrates well the differences between the Snow and Ross's geese; the Snow is larger, has a longer bill; the cute smaller one in front is Ross's. They were in a mass of both species in a lake area at Bosque del Apache in New Mexico.
