Dawn at the Flight Deck        Images © Mark A. Chappell

The 'Flight Deck' at Bosque del Apache wildlife refuge is where everyone goes before dawn to see the geese and cranes against dawn light and the sunrise.   Some of these photos were taken considerably before sunrise, with exposures as long as 30 seconds.   The bright object in the sky is Venus.

Other pictures of cranes and geese Bosque are here, here, and here; also, look at the Bosque del Apache page for photos from other visits.
