After posting images from our recent visit to Bosque del Apache, I omitted some interesting images. In the following image, I was photographing one Red-Tailed Hawk. The hawk took flight just before the following hawk flew in. Perhaps there was a dispute over territory? The hawk below looks like a dark morph variant, that has significantly darker coloring compared to most birds in that species.
In the previous post, I mentioned the Coyote that moved in when we were birding. Well. Here is the Coyote. Apparently it was one of three Coyotes that other folks had seen a little earlier!
Here is one of the Sandhill Cranes coming in to land, that I was photographing while the Coyote was in the area.
While photographing shore birds, a Northern Harrier flew in to do some hunting. These birds are really nimble and perform impressive aerobatic maneuvers while hunting. This Harrier turned back as it started to dive.
Here is another image as the Harrier continued diving. Both images have been heavily cropped to show more detail, because the Harrier was a long distance away.
At the end of our last day at Bosque del Apache, the setting sun was streaming through the bushes and trees.
Here are two images from the end of the day.
Enjoy.
