Nature Center, ABQ NM

The Nature Center is a wonderful place by the Rio Grande in urban Albuquerque. There are 2 ponds with viewing blinds, many feeding stations, programs of guided birding, bird banding and I'm sure other projects I'm unaware of. It is one of Albuquerque's treasures! I like to use it when I'm jonesin for getting out and can't, and for practice and learning new gear, and of course to nurture the soul... These shots are mainly playing with the beautiful reflections and the ducks.

Great set! You captured them all quite well. I enjoyed viewing each one.

Beautiful pictures! The first 2 pictures are of Coots. Really like the duck landing and the Road Runner.
