So that's where they go

Gene, the photographer in yesterday's picture, tipped me off to the Bernardo Wildlife Management Area in Bernardo NM, about 40 miles north of the Bosque. Apparently many of the cranes I've been photographing here at the Bosque go up to Bernardo during the day to munch on the couple hundred acres of corn grown for their (and the Snow Geese's) dining pleasure.

Life is Strange

Life is infinitely stranger than anything which the mind of man could invent. We would not dare to conceive the things which are really mere commonplaces of existence. If we could fly out of that window hand in hand, hover over this great city, gently remove the roofs, and peep in at the queer things which are going on, the strange coincidences, the plannings, the cross-purposes, the wonderful chains of events, working through generations, and leading to the most outre results, it would make all fiction with its conventionalities and foreseen conclusion most stale and unprofitable.

A Case of Identity, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
