2016-11-18 P9200904 Northern Pintails

The annual Festival of the Cranes took place during the time we were at Bosque del Apache last year, and my husband attended one of the scheduled events - a demonstration prescribed fire on the refuge. I chose to photograph ducks instead, and captured this image of three Northern Pintails zooming by as the "Pintail-green" fire truck that had just left the burn passed by in the distance. It was interesting that the next day there were hundreds of Sandhills on the freshly burned field. This was taken with my Nikon 300 f2.8 lens on a GH4 using manual focus.
