Canyon Towhee, Elephant Butte NM, April 1, 2012

Early morning light

The sun was barely up and I got the pictures but the light was insufficient. There was a female Hooded Merganser on the river this morning having a crayfish feast fit for a queen. There must be a pool here where crayfish survive when the river flow is turned off for the winter. It was a fine moment I wanted to share with you. Ah well...
