More than Geese and Cranes
Most people head to Bosque del Apache to photograph the Sandhill Cranes and Snow Geese. The wildlife refuge has many other opportunities to photograph wildlife. It was a little too early in the morning for this Northern Shoveler. The pond still frozen she couldn’t do what shovelers normally do. That beak is used to plow through the mud on the bottom of the pond. Taken with the Nikon D6 and Nikkor 800mm 5.6 with 1.25TC.
