Title: Sandhill Crane on Cottonwoods
Post by: Glenn Bartley on November 29, 2010, 03:56:52 pm

The first day I was at Bosque (Nov 9) the colours of the Cottonwoods were amazing! They made for a nice backdrop one evening as the cranes flew in to roost.

All the best!

Lovely. The temperature here is struggling to get above freezing, there's a bitter wind and there's snow on the ground but I can look at this shot and get a warm feeling.
