Hi folks,
My apologies for the late post, but other stuff got in the way.
Bob and I spent Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning this week at Bosque NWR.
The highlight of the day was five juvenile BALD EAGLES on the ground together, harassing each other and flapping their wings, while a sixth eagle kept an eye on things from a nearby tree. As an extra treat, an adult BALD EAGLE flew by early Tuesday morning, making for a 7 eagle trip! Haven't seen that many eagles at Bosque in a long time!
If anyone would like to see a photo, Bob got quite a nice shot of the five on the ground. Just let me know and I'll email the photo.
We saw a fair number of SANDHILL CRANES, very spread out in small groups, with a couple of larger groups in the fields. Lots of ducks anyplace that had water.
