Obviously when anyone thinks of Bosque the "big three" come to mind (Snow and Ross's Geese and Sandhill Cranes). For me though I was just as excited to get after some of the really cool other birds down there such as this beautiful Crissal Thrasher. I guess that is the birder in me :wink:
All the best!

Glenn,
I agree with you in that there are so many other smaller birds to photograph that sometimes we miss the forest for the trees.
Love your image! Nice composition and pose. I really like the mesquite perch. Congratulations!
