Splash of Blue 4676
The water glows crimson as the sun sets over the Bosque del Apache refuge in San Antonio, New Mexico, where sandhill cranes have gathered for the night. A peck at the pond yields a splash of blue! Cranes stand in the shallow ponds scattered around the refuge grounds. The water provides an increment of safety for these birds during the night. Many a coyote, bobcat, or even a mountain lion would love to make a nighttime snack out of any one of them. Even if the water does not keep predators away, it offers the birds an early warning. Predators on the run will likely make a splash. It may seem a little too simple, but it's been working for millions of years. #ILoveNature #ILoveWildlife #WildlifePhotography in #NewMexico #Nature in #America #USA #Wildlife #SandhillCranes #Cranes #Canon #Bringit #DrDADBooks #Photography #Picoftheday #Photooftheday
