Bosque del Apache in Socorro County in New Mexico is one of the most beautiful refuges for migratory birds, and I hope I am able to show this through these few images here.
@ Bobg657: Thank you, Bob!
@ mitesh: Thanks Mitesh! That's a huge compliment, coming from you!
@ AGeoJO: Thanks Joshua. A bit of color boost didn't hurt the image, did it?
@ trenchmonkey: The spot at the first blind is terrific at sunset and twilight.
@ Archibald: Yes, that's a real moody and subliminal image.
Thanks Fred! Bosque del Apache is a magical place, and the snow geese "blast-off" is a sight and sound to behold and experience! A couple of "blast-off" images from a previous visit.

These are all so cool!!
I like how 3 and 5 (from your original post) subtly include two types of birds completely separated from one another - #3 with the fly-ins coming in over the Sandhill Cranes and #5 with the Sandhill Cranes but other BIF reflected in the water which are obviously overhead out of the frame.

That's a wall hanger alright! The lighting is just beautiful. I must go back there in the Fall. The Fall color adds another dimension IMO. Thanks for sharing this image, Will!
