Synopsis:
Finally, some good clouds came in to provide a much better backdrop for in-flights. I focused once again on the Crane Ponds in the good morning light. I got some more fun behavorial images as well. Later in the afternoon and evening, I met up with another photographer I met on the Fred Miranda forum (TrenchMonkey) at Bernardo wildlife area for a shoot of Sandhill Cranes there.

Bosque del Apache Day 4 - January 24 (Evening Shoot)
On Thursday evening, I met up with a local photographer I met online. We
decided to shoot at another smaller refuge close to where he lives along
the Rio Grande Valley. It was a fun shoot, and Sandhill Cranes were
numerous. We were working with excellent direct light with a bunch of mid
level clouds to provide nice backgrounds. Then, the sun went behind the
clouds to never reappear (except for a brief moment right around sunset).
Here are a few images from that shoot:
