Where's Waldo?
One of the most amazing experiences to be had at the Bosque is to witness the flight of the snow geese as they take off together. This somewhat predictably occurs in the morning and may occur more than once. If a predator happens upon the scene they explode up in the air again from either roosting or feeding in the fields. It is one of the most impressive spectacles I've observed in nature, and it may actually occur literally right in front of you and right at you. Numbers of geese in the air at the same time number easily in the many thousands. See the Bosque bird count which resides in the entrance area of the visitor's center below in comments for some additional perspective.
"Where's Waldo" above refers to searching for the various plumages I've posted earlier, starting with an adult "blue" goose (dark morph snow goose), juvenile plumaged snow geese, and both adult Snow and Ross's geese!
