I've finally gotten my full photo album finished from my "Festival of the Cranes" trip in mid November. I've already posted several videos from that trip; they're in this album as well, so skip right over them if you've already seen them. This was a birding/hiking trip centered around Sandhill Cranes in New Mexico (Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge).
Features: Peregrine & Gyr-Peregrine Falcon, Harris's Hawks, Sandhill Cranes, Geese, and other assorted birds, including some successful digiscoping attempts (unusual for me).
Freebies: Mule Deer, Prairie Dogs
Warning: Rattlesnake...if you're phobic, this is advance notice that there are several pictures of a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake (including the final photo).
