Arriving late the night before and connecting with fellow Tropical Birder, Iain Campbell, we made our way in the dark of night to the town of Socorro, famed hangout for birders/photographers wishing to get a good dose of chilli, and be in spitting distance of the famous Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. Thus we awoke a little late for the fly out of cranes, but checked out the refuge anyway, which was far from wasted time. Gambel's Quail scurried tantalizingly around the desert garden behind the visitor center, and a Roadrunner (one of my favorite North American birds) welcomed us to the refuge by scampering along a road as they should do. However, it was this scene, and white haze of Snow Geese that caught my eye during my short visit to this legendary refuge...
More to come from down New Mexico way...
