Sky Watch Friday: Snow Geese
Thousands of geese spend each winter down at the Bosque del Apache in New Mexico. While they are at the Bosque they spend their nights on the shallow pools that dot the refuge. These pools provide some safety from many of the land based predators.

This is beautiful. I've seen the geese in the Bosque in Albuquerque, but never had the opportunity for a photo like this.
