| Two sandhill cranes, reflected in mirror-still waters at sunrise. Image ID: 21873 Species: Sandhill crane, Grus canadensis Location: Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, Socorro, New Mexico, USA | Snow geese blast off. After resting and preening on water, snow geese are started by a coyote, hawk or just wind and take off en masse by the thousands. As many as 50,000 snow geese are found at Bosque del Apache NWR at times, stopping at the refuge during their winter migration along the Rio Grande River.
