Sandhill Cranes, Bernardo Wildlife Management Area, Bernardo NM, January 15, 2013
So that's where they go
Gene, the photographer in yesterday's picture, tipped me off to the Bernardo Wildlife Management Area in Bernardo NM, about 40 miles north of the Bosque. Apparently many of the cranes I've been photographing here at the Bosque go up to Bernardo during the day to munch on the couple hundred acres of corn grown for their (and the Snow Geese's) dining pleasure.

Words Get in the Way
Research shows that language suppresses visual memory, This is called verbal overshadowing and is a well-established phenomenon .... For example, in one study people watched a short videotape of a bank robbery, then spent twenty minutes doing something unrelated. Then one group spent five minutes writing down everything they could remember about the bank robber's face, while the other group did an unrelated task.
