Blue is not my favorite hue. 0102

Snow geese fly out in the late morning sun. Also known as blue geese, and collectively as light geese, in conjunction with Ross's geese. They nest in extreme northern climates, above the tree zones and winter in warmer climates across parts of North America and Mexico. During the winter season they feed primarily on leftover grain in fields. This photo was taken at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge during this week's Festival of the Cranes. Sandhill Cranes aren't the only birds visiting the refuge this time of year!
