Cranes having a spat on the Rio Grande.
A group of cranes flew into the shallows on the Rio Grande this evening and decided to have a spat over something. They are doing a nice crane dance as part of the spat in the GIF below.
The duck walks out of the middle of the spat.
I was expecting to wake up and see the moon and Venus almost on top of each other but got colorful clouds instead. Yesterday morning got a crow flying between the moon and Venus.
Cresent moon, crow, and Venus
The end of dawn
Coming in from the north.
The crow highway was in full swing at dusk with thousands of crows flying south over the Rio Grande and bosque.
Heading south.
The Sandias in dusk purple make a beautiful background.
A lone crow taking a break in a cottonwood that stands between the clearwater ditch and the irrigation ditch.

Another birthday. Thankful to celebrate after all that’s passed.
Await the storm. A promise of rain. A promise of snow. Perfect present for dry times.
Wasp searches. Bee behind.
Birds look to the sky. Anticipation.
Candles out. Wishes made.
Daddy Owl was in the bosque.
The owls were out hooting back and forth to each other at twilight.
He flew onto the trunk of a cottonwood before flying over to cottonwoods by the clearwater ditch
Mama Owl was on the tip-top of Mia’s Tree.
Getting a good hoot in. I pushed this photo 2 stops to get a little bit of detail.
Otherwise, Mama Owl was a silhouette.
Cranes and Canadian Geese flew by Mama Owl on their way to roost.
