How’s this for a morning commute? Sunrise brings a wild flurry of activity to Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. In the winter, thousands of geese, cranes and ducks spend the night in the refuge’s waters to protect themselves from predators. Near dawn, they take off en masse in search of fields to feed in for the day. It’s a daily riot of wings and calls, movement and sound. But hopefully no fender-benders.
