Hey Tony, here are some you were asking for from the Bosque area. The first 5 are from SE of Bernardo, NM (that Will Hersher put us on to) & the last 3 are from the feeding fields of Bosque (after the snow melted, but the ponds were still froze over)

Very, very nice. Hard to pick a favorite, but really like the wing spread in flight (#4).

Thks John & Tim-it was a great couple of weeks even with the first blizzard & iced & closed roads. It did get the temps back to above freezing before I left.

Sandy, Bruce, James, Fred & Ron-thks for looking & commenting!
Bosque in season is a place every wildlife shooter must go sooner or later. It is awesome when the snow geese gaggles fill the sky (especially when they blast off) or when a coyote causes the Sandhills to take off & the sounds are beautiful to hear & see!!!
