Sandhill Cranes Trumpeting - Bosque Del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico
__________

Just back from my annual trip to Bosque Del Apache. I've photographed there dozens and dozens of times over the years. It never gets old. Just when I think I've seen everything something new is thrown into the mix. In last night's case, the backlit birds were awesome. The way the sun went behind the distant mountain with clouds providing fill light, it was just perfect.

These birds landed and promptly got to announcing their presence. A cranes trumpeting sound is amazing, if you ask me.

Cheers

Tom
