Do you ever see the white Whooping Cranes? They look like Sandhill Cranes only white and they're a lot fewer.
I saw some long ago when I was a boy. We were visiting family in Nebraska and my Mom pointed them out.
I haven’t seen any since.

I would agree. Most likely Greater Yellowlegs, see the slight upturned bill.
Makes sense that a greater would turn up his nose at a lesser.

Very enjoyable series!
Yes, immature bald eagle. See:

Your "snipe" isn't. Maybe one of the sandpipers or a willet. They do all start to look alike after a few minutes viewing search results

Thanks Linda
Another member identified the “snipe” as a lesser yellowlegs.
I’m not sure why I try to put a label on the photos I post. Maybe going forward I’ll just type in “bird” and leave it at that.

Thanks
I thought at first that you were “pulling my leg” so I looked up lesser yellowlegs and.....looks like you’re right.
Never heard of this bird before but......I am very obviously not much of a “birder”

Very nice series. I too have been trying to get a javelina there. I have a few but nothing worth posting. Nice work!
Thanks
I’ve seen quite a few at BDA. I’ve seen a few out in fairly open areas but for some reason my pictures of them are never very satisfying..
Don’t really know why. Might be because they never really look up. Might be because they are just kinda ugly.

Thanks for this post.
That image looks very clean for 8000 ISO. What does a properly exposed 8000 ISO raw file look like?

Could that be a Golden Eagle?
I thought it might be but someone talked me out of it. It was a pretty big bird whatever it was.

Excellent work! I'm jealous. I've wanted to find a javelina, so far with no success.
Thank you
I pulled up alongside 12 or 15 of them rooting around in the leaf litter. They were not too uncomfortable with me getting pretty close. Maybe 20ft away. Unfortunately there was so much bramble and brush that it was almost impossible to get clear pictures.

Paul, Great series. Thanks for sharing. The sand hill cranes are my favorite.
Thanks
The Sandhill cranes are pretty much the stars of the show at Bosque del Apache this time of year.

Beautiful work Paul! I have the Baltimore Clipper "Harvey/1847" under way, the hull is planked and all of the deck furniture is complete. It is a very long term project, one of my more optimistic ones! Your rigging looks immaculate, congratulations!

Thank you
I’m always amazed when I read about someone who’s made many high quality wooden ship models. Especially from scratch, plank on frame models. They must work MUCH more efficiently than I do.
Good luck with your project!

Absolutely stunning! How many have you built? I always wanted to try that but wow that is a lot of delicate work. Show more😉
Thank you
This was my 3rd. The first two were made a looooong time ago and did not survive a move from NJ to NM. I never got around to repairing them.

Very nice work. Both ship and the photo. I just started back on my model after to much procrastinating.
Thank you
There was a very generous amount of procrastination that went into my model as well.

What a beauty, Paul! My husband is working on the Bounty, but I'm wondering if he'll ever be finished with it. 
Thank you.
This was a simpler ship to build than the Bounty.
Building one of these wooden ship models is a very time consuming task. A friend of ours in New Orleans sewed up the sails for me so I felt that I needed to get the project done.
Tell your husband that I think that only the best of us are up to the task. 🤪
