Just finished the Festival of the Cranes bird photography workshop and thought I'd file a field report from the Bosque. It's definitely better than last year! There's plenty of corn on the refuge. Geese numbers are good and Sandhill Crane numbers are fair but rising. They've added a new walking trail at the south end of the Marsh Loop that takes you south of the cornfield. The weather has been on the warm side and that has impacted bird counts negatively. Overall things are looking up! Thanks to the Animals for all their hard work to make the Bosque a better place (there's a nice poster of them in the Visitor Center along with some images taken by each of them).
Here's a Northern Harrier photo from yesterday afternoon.
