Sandhill Cranes, Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, New Mexico, 2014

More than 10,000 migrating Sandhill Cranes winter here as well. During the day, they feed in the surrounding irrigated farms and wetlands. At sunset, they commute to the waters of the Rio Grande. I caught this trio of cranes approaching the river below a curving golden cloud.

Yes it does. It reminds me of a flying fish. Meanwhile, the cranes are on their own mission. Thanks, Rose.

The cloud seems as alive as the cranes! V
