Cranes at the Bosque

[DES]

These photos are from a Bosque north of Bosque del Apache in New Mexico -- very accessible to Albuquerque nature-lovers. It is maintained just for the wildlife with a crop of millet, corn, and alfalfa.

The area is noted for attracting Sandhill Cranes.

Pretty neat that they sow and cut down the feed grains for the wildlife. Leaves some very nice photo opportunities for visitors like you. Thnx for sharing the scenes.

Great Photos. I have been there once. I didn't realize they were planting those for the birds. I saw a lot of fields of crops around that area, but didn't realize the purpose.
