Another Supermoon and Sandhill Crane shot from last month. At this distance one gets either Moon in sharp focus or the bird. I prefer the latter. Nikon D500/Nikkor 500mm PF. ©BaileysBirds.com

Yeah, this happened, the Snow Goose invasion of the Middle Rio Grande River Valley. A few Ross's geese and assorted wayward ducks along for the ride. Incredible, bucket-list-level sight 😎 ©BaileysBirds.com

Ross's Geese at Bosque del Apache NWR New Mexico, mixed in with thousands of their much larger Snow Geese cousins. A first goose for me. No AI was used to create this image. ©2024 BaileysBirds.com

3 things have always moved me: lone tree in harsh environment, odd clouds, and both captured in B&W. My high school math teacher (and Photo Club sponsor) was a student of Ansel Adams (yeah I'm old). Mr. Jones taught me not only how to expose outside, but how to expose in the darkroom. #trees #B&W
