Bosque can be tough, although it’s great even when it’s tough. My sister, BIL, and nephew are visiting from England and I took them to Bosque this afternoon. Starting at around 2 pm, we found almost no geese anywhere and very few cranes. The wind and light were perfect, but the only good bird photograph for me was a nicely lit American kestrel on a branch and a well-lit pintail. Then at a bit after 4 there was a distant goose blastoff at the farm field and they flew over our heads, and we headed to the bigger crane pool. The geese and cranes started pouring in, but the sunset was almost pure gray. Still, my family enjoyed it, and I did too.

Setting the WB to a relatively high Kelvin temperature in soft pre-dawn light facing west will usually produce more realistic color than AWB. artie
