One of the things I love about Bosque in November is the light. It is great on the birds and it is great on the mountains and the fields that line the Rio Grande. I always come back with 1000s of bird shots…and at least a few scenics. This was taken early one morning from the backside of the driving loop looking to the west. The Rio Grande is behind me.
