Bosque-Detail - a photo on Flickriver

Bosque-Detail

            Another image from the Bosque del Apache, this a detail of sandhill cranes lifting off from the golden fields. Not the usual detail due to enlargement, but I love the shapes of the birds as they take off.  Reminds me of a Japanese print.

Sandhill cranes are  social birds that are usually encountered in pairs or family groups through the year. During migration and winter, non-related cranes come together to form "survival groups" which forage and roost together. Such groups often congregate at migration and winter sites, such as the Bosque del Apache, sometimes resulting in thousands of cranes being found together.  

Hope everyone has a great Sunday.  Thanks for stopping by --  I always  appreciate  all of your kind comments and other support.
