Nice series. That first twin takeoff is one sweet shot and the landing shot is great. They always seem like they're going to crash on landing don't they?

Such an atmosphere this place must have. I could imagine some of these looks spectacular in print cause they do on my screen - Wow.

The monkey must be a Bearded Tamarin

Wonderful series Ken! You sure took advantage of that golden morning light. Favorites are 6, 8 and 9......and 10, was this one domesticated or did you find him in the wild?

Hi Ken! I am so, so jealous! These are beautiful shots, and I am so glad you enjoyed your time there.
My favorite is the first twin takeoff. Awesome light.
Someday, I will get there too!
Thanks for sharing these.

Great "Bosque Tour", Mr Hollywood! You've really captured the spirit of the place,
the lighting, and some wild things that go bump in the night. Thanks!

(Just hope you didn't scare off anyone on the fence about making the trip, Ken)

Great pictures and a good shot of Will, a true ambassador of the Bosque. I hope to get to the Bosque in January.

Ken, All nice shots! I am sure you got more that 10 good shots -- it will be nice to see more. I was down there this past Thursday and pressed the button too many times myself. The colors are beautiful and the birds are continuing to arrive. I do wonder if Will puts on the red suit for Christmas. Steve W

HI Dave,

The Bosque is a bird photographer's dream land at this time of year. The fall colors and the near endless flights of birds actually provide almost too much action to try to keep up with. I got to talk you and Steve W. into meeting with me out there one of these days. We'd have a blast!

With regards to the Monkey; There can be only one

Ken
