Editing Progress... Day 7 of 11

MORE PHOTOS NOW ONLINE

As the gallery is now above 900 images I would suggest that, if you have been following along, you skip to the end and work through backwards.

I have added another 40ish images. Days one - seven are now edited and online, in the order they were captured (or close to it). This represents photographs from December 5th - 11th of my trip.

Day seven started waiting for White Sands national Monument to open. The night before we were told that we could get into the park at 7am; but due to some missile testing the opening was delayed until 9am. With the delay I decided to head out to the country side to try and see some of the local Oryx that reside in the area. I only had a brief, very distant, sighting. I did see dozens of Red Tail Hawks and captured some nice Gambel's Quail photographs. I was then off to a reserve near Roswell, Bitter Lake. I added many birds to my trip list; but only a few provided nice photographs. The last hour and a half of the day did provide three different owl species (Great Horned, Short Eared, and Burrowing).

I hope you enjoy.
