A Bosque Blizzard

If you've been to the Bosque del Apache NWR you know the main event is the morning blastoff where thousands of snow geese all decide to take-off at once as the sun rises. From a distance, it almost looks choreographed and the sounds are muted, but the beauty of the Bosque is that you can get close to the birds, hear them flapping their wings and honking and it's anything but choreographed, it's total chaos. Hopefully, you'll see some of that chaos in these photos.

Pretty cool. I love the first one. I grew-up on the Chesapeake Bay and used to see similar scenes but never quite captured them as well as you have.

I like the third one best. but that's definitely a minority opinion in my house.

Oh wow, Sergo! Great photos!
I guess my late sleeping habits just aren't going to work at Bosque.
