These pics are from a recent trip to Bosque del Apache (New Mexico). There were very few birds this year at this time (December). Also, only one smallish flock of Snow Geese. I went for the Sandhill Cranes so I was happy that there were some of the cranes there, but not in as large of a number as the last time I was there, maybe three or four years ago.

Dear Ms. Cassinetto:

I really love the first image as I adore these cranes always and never tire of seeing them but I was not prepared for the surprise in the last image and the incredible motion ,bokeh and almost 3-D effect of that shot. That's a winner in my book and congratulations on an astonishing piece of work. I love it ! ....

Thanks for your comments in general and especially about that last shot. The evening light was incredible that day and just got lucky that there was a "fly off." Wildlife photography is a combination of luck, artistic talent and skill. I'll take any luck I can get!

As a newbie to wildlife photography I can only look in awe at your stunning Crane images.

Wish I had known you were at BdA. Very nice images considering fewer birds. Because of that situation, I do fly out and fly in at BdA and spend the rest of the day at Bernardo’s Ladd S. Gordon state waterfowl refuge. It has some great advantages over Bosque in that the rows of corn are perpendicularT to I the roads and since it’s a state refuge, they can use GMO corn which the federal refuge can’t. Hope you’ll return.

A very nice set. Not as many birds down here in La. refuges this year, either, as far as I can tell.

We did end up there on the last day. It turned out to be a better spot for photos.
