Morning calisthenics

            A northern pintail drake greets the rising sun with a series of wing flaps, warming up the flight muscles and drying off the primary feathers.

The number of northern pintails waxes and wanes annually at Bosque del Apache- this winter there were more than the previous year (personal observation). However like many avian species pintail numbers have declined precipitously in the past, with an estimated 75% decline in the global population since 1966.
