In early February we returned to San Antonio, New Mexico, primarily to spend more time at the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge.
Javelina feeding next to the refuge road
Sandhill Cranes in sunset color
Cranes flying in late against the fading sunset
The owner of the small RV park we stayed in feeds corn to the cranes, so there were always several hanging around.
There was also a large flock of American Wigeon ducks that were usually either in a nearby pond or feeding in the fields next to the RV park. The feeding ducks tended to move as a tight mass like a moving carpet.
One of many Great Blue Heron sightings
We wanted our visit to coincide with a full moon.
This is about a day and a half before being full.
