Morning Fly-out 9981

Sandhill cranes take to the air at sunrise at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in San Antonio, New Mexico. Each morning the sandhill cranes and snow geese leave the water and fly out to the fields, where they search for leftover grain and insects to eat. Each year thousands of people travel to watch this spectacle, and I sometimes wonder if the birds come here to watch us too!
