Heads, make a right turn and check out the Marsh Loop.  Tails go straight up Bosque Road (In the <a href=\"https:\/\/store.birdsasart.com\/shop\/item.aspx?itemid=72\">Bosque Site Guide<\/a> I call it the H Road for obvious reasons).  On November 23, the coin came up tails.  I was glad as there had been some good concentrations of ducks about 2\/3 of the way to the left turn on the Farm Loop. Most of us were messing around with the dispersing ducks, not doing much.  A few folks walk a hundred yards up the road to the pool on the right near the intersection. Close to a decade ago this was a good location with lots of ducks and the occasional Neotropic Cormorant.  Lately it had been not so good.  I forget which member of Denise&#8217;s group came back to get us, heck, it might have been Denise, but IAC we were told that there were big groups of blackbirds perching on the dead bushes in the pool and flying around.  So we went.  The image above was one of the first that I made.  <\/p>\n<table>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdsasart-blog.com\/baa\/wp-content\/gallery\/new-mexico\/european-starlings-and-icterids-take-off-blur-_y5o7756-bosque-del-apache-nwr-san-antonio-nm.jpg\" class='shutterset'><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-center\" src=\"https:\/\/www.birdsasart-blog.com\/baa\/wp-content\/gallery\/new-mexico\/european-starlings-and-icterids-take-off-blur-_y5o7756-bosque-del-apache-nwr-san-antonio-nm.jpg\" alt=\"european-starlings-and-icterids-take-off-blur-_y5o7756-bosque-del-apache-nwr-san-antonio-nm\" title=\"european-starlings-and-icterids-take-off-blur-_y5o7756-bosque-del-apache-nwr-san-antonio-nm\" width=800 \/><\/a>   <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<p>This image was also created with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/973129-REG\/Canon_5176B002_EF_200_400mm_f_4L_IS.html\/BI\/6633\/KBID\/7226\/kw\/CA2004004IS\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xCA2004004IS\" target=\"_blank\">Canon EF 200-400mm f\/4L IS USM lens with Internal 1.4x Extender<\/a> (with the internal TC in place hand held at 280mm) and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bhphotovideo.com\/c\/product\/827036-REG\/Canon_5253B002_EOS_1D_X_Digital_SLR.html\/BI\/6633\/KBID\/7226\/kw\/CAE1DX\/DFF\/d10-v2-t1-xCAE1DX\" target=\"_blank\">Canon EOS-1D X<\/a>.
