I came home with 22K+ files from Bosque del Apache.
It is up there with Bird Rock in Newfoundland for bierd lovers.
I would go again, but age limits how many 're-do's' I can get in a lifetime and
really want to visit Sax-zim (sp) next winter.
But I would recommend Bosque to any bird photographer as another Mecca bucket list.
I came home with 22,000 files from Bosque alone. Like all our trips the vast majority of captures
will end up in the archives for some archeologist to find centuries down the road
If you head to Sax Zim, give me a shout. Duluth is only 2 ½ hours away, and if you
come down to the cities, I can show you some local haunts for deer, swans, maybe an owl or two.
If you come after a cold snap in Jan. or Feb. you may have some good chances for eagles
along the Mississippi River.
There are a few pairs that are getting their nests ready right in town.
At times last year, Redwing was a hot spot with around 70 eagles hanging out by the power plant.
I've only been there twice, both times came up empty on owls.
Some years there are a lot, some, not so many.
This year we haven't had a lot of snow, and the temps have been pretty warm.
That may have something to do with it.
Snowy sightings have been down, so have great grays.
Some friends went there last week and did find a northern hawk owl.
