Skip and I made a short trip to Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge<\/a>, in New Mexico, to photograph snow geese<\/a> (Chen caerulescens<\/i><\/a>) and sandhill cranes<\/a> (Grus canadensis<\/i><\/a>). This is strictly bird photography<\/a> and has essentially nothing to do with the marine subjects that I really prefer. But its cheap, easy and fun, and is good practice for the real thing, so I’ve joined Skip at Bosque del Apache a couple times now. Here are a few photos from this year’s visit:<\/p>\n
