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.<\/p>\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n\n\n

Here is one of the Sandhill Cranes coming in to land, that I was photographing while the Coyote was in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n

At the end of our last day at Bosque del Apache, the setting sun was streaming through the bushes and trees.<\/p>\n\n\n
