Wildlife Birds At Bosque Del Apache New Mexico

A black phoebe perches at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge near San Antonio, New Mexico. The refuge's wetlands serve as a critical resting and feeding stop for thousands of cranes, geese, and other migratory birds moving along the Rio Grande corridor. Wildlife watchers and photographers gather each year to witness the spectacle as the birds arrive in the early morning light and settle in for the winter season. (Photo by Ronen Tivony/NurPhoto)
