Did not make it to Bosque this December and January as originally planned, so I did the closest substitute available to me - the Sonny Bono Wildlife Refuge at the Salton Sea. Had never been there before and was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. The birds in the reserve itself are fairly far away, but the agricultural channels provide ample opportunities. This is "a bit" image heavy, and I did not even include the many great images of egrets, raptors, stilts, herons, and cormorants.
