Description
In the heart of New Mexico's Bernardo Wildlife Management Area, an annual migration spectacle unfolds amid vast golden spent corn fields, enchanting observers with the mesmerizing collaboration between sandhill cranes and the exuberant snow geese. The Bernardo Wildlife Reserve, a vital stopover along the Central Flyway, transforms into a haven for these majestic birds during their southward journey. Against the backdrop of the harvested fields, sandhill cranes, with their distinctive calls and elegant stature, seamlessly share the landscape with the snow geese. The air is filled with the collective honking of thousands of snow geese, their excitement palpable as they take flight in unison, creating a harmonious symphony that reverberates through the crisp New Mexico air. The breathtaking sight of this airborne congregation, with the golden fields below and the jubilant honking above, exemplifies the Bernardo Wildlife Reserve's role as a temporary sanctuary, where nature's spectacle unfolds in both visual and auditory splendor.

Amazing the sheer numbers, especially of Snow Geese. I am used to thinking in terms of thousands of Sandhill Cranes.
