These are incredible, Alan!!!! What a magical backdrop with the mountains in the back. I don’t know much about Colorado, but the fact that it has a town with Mexican-ish architecture/influences is very interesting. But I guess it makes sense if it’s on the way to Santa Fe. Either way, I learned quite a bit reading this!!

I see the Sandhill Cranes at a distance in Idaho, but a did capture a pair of them dancing and arguing over something in Florida just 15-20 ft from me in Florida. See my most recent post on Florida birds for the short video.

Your sunset Crane shot is beautiful!

These shots are amazing. I’ve only ever seen these guys in Florida.. I had no idea!

Another great surprise while driving through San Luis was seeing a band of wild horses!

Thank you! From what I understand the cranes in Florida don't migrate like these do. How awesome seeing a band of wild horses, that is not something I've seen in the valley
