It's late, but it's still #StallionSaturday! This is Cobra, a bachelor in the south Onaqui herd. There are more bachelors in this herd than is appropriate, since the 2021 roundup! They removed so many horses with no regard to herd stability or future genetic viability.

During the winter here in New Mexico, 1000s of Sandhill Cranes make their migration flying 1000s of miles taking a much deserved rest with a stopover along the bosques. SC are very large, standing 4-5' tall. A wonderful sight to see.

“I am so happy to have finally got this shot. It has taken me all winter. I have had so many difficulties; frozen equipment, blurry photos through ice, battery issues, flash placements and flare, clouds(!), cats’n’dogs, wind blowing everything over, night exposure, and the list goes on. So you can imagine my excitement and disbelief this morning when I found this on my card! Thank you beautiful Mrs fox, you get an Oscar.”
