Hubby and I were up early on our second morning, we headed to the Bosque Del Apache before sunrise. It was well worth getting up early to see these beautiful skies and reflections. The birds of course were an added bonus for me.
Throw in some ducks, snow geese and sandhill cranes and the day just gets better.
For my NF Winged part of my post, I am sharing some more Bosque Del Apache birds like the Grebe above.
Not the best or even a clear shot, but I love the Black Phoebe and the colors in the shot above.
A pretty White-Crowned Sparrow with the blue sky.
I took a gazillion sunrise photos, I could not decide which one I like better. They are some of my all time favorite sunrise photos. I hope you all like them too.
Thanks for visiting my post and blog and I always appreciate your comments.
Happy Skywatching everyone!

They're all beautiful, but WOW--the colors on your grebe picture are stunning--so golden. That really caught my eye!
Hope your week is going well.

Marvelous photos of this unique Sunrise. Gorgeous colors and reflections. The birds are cute.

I love all of these - especially those pre-sunrise pictures. Wow...
Oh your sunrise photos are just stunning. LOVED them all!
Awesome photos. Not only gorgeous sunrises but it casts such a fabulous lighting on each shot. It really is the golden hour isn't it?
Your sky and sunrise reflection in the water photos are amazing. The one of the grebe is my absolute favorite. Grant and I are going out to the dam for me to photograph the sunrise on Saturday morning! Thanks for sharing. I hope you're having a great day.
oh, my! GORGEOUS!!! loved the grebe photo with all the patterns and colors, too.
Oh. my. Those sky shots are breathtaking!
I often find it difficult to get up in time to see the sunrise, but it is usually worth it. Your photos were most definitely worth the early morning. They are all absolutely glorious.
Who could not like these?! I so appreciate those who get up early enough to photograph the sunrise since I can't seem to do it. These are BEAUTIFUL! The black phoebe is darling too. I saw one once in California.
Wow, those sky shots are gorgeous! Such beautiful reflections! And it's always great to see some birds as well!
Z pewnością warto było wstać tak wcześnie rano i patrzeć na piękne niebo i ptaki. Cudne zdjecia. Pozdrawiam.
Certainly worth getting up so early in the morning and look at the beautiful sky and birds. Wonderful pictures. Yours.

Wow, such gorgeous photos! Definitely some of my favorite I've seen from you. I don't know how you picked between them because they are all amazing!

Spectacular skies.
It's worth getting up early just to see the sunrise. : )
Great photos as always.
Wonderful birds. And Bosque Del Apache is one of the best skywatching places we've ever been. Thanks for the memories.
Hi Eileen!! Absolutely stunning sunrise and reflection shots!! Love that shot of the White crowned Sparrow :-))
A huge wow on the sunsets and great series of bird shots.
I think that I have new entry for my bucket list. Your photos are spectacular. I don't think I'll ever be a birder but I would sure like to see the scenes you photographed so well.
Fabulous sunrise shots. I like the last one best as the horizon doesn't cut the picture in half. The birds are great too. I love the grebe on the coloured, patterned water.
splendid shots.
I've got to agree with you Eileen... some of my all-time favorite shots here!! Really excellent.
Beautiful Photos!
Have a nice day!
Such stunning photos - I too love the early morning. I've had trouble getting a grebe - they dive so fast.
Those are awesome golden sunrise moments.
Great set of shots - I love the sky with the birds.
Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
PS: I saw my parrots every day of my last holiday - but I don't see them everyday near my real house - but I do see rainbow lorikeets!
The scenery is superb Eileen, and, of course, the birds, amazing.
Gorgeous photos of the sunrise. I love the colours. Have a great day!
Stunning sky shots and cute little birds!!

Wonderful sky shots, Eileen. Awesome colors, a great bonus for getting up so early!

Beautiful Eileen!!! I have yet to see a white crowned sparrow. Oh, and I viewed your previous post and hafta tell you that when we lived in Tucson, we had Gambel's Quail in our back yard........nesting!!!! The chicks were so darned cute.
Beautiful sunrise photos! And the birds are indeed a wonderful extra.
These are all stunning!
OH WOW!
These are fantastic sunrises, Eileen!
Pure beauty with the perfect reflections on the sill water.
And the golden waves around the grebe are gorgeous too.!
Keep well!
what wonderful skies!
That was really worthwhile to get up so early ! Beautiful pictures !
Wow! A sky worth waking up for.
Hi Eileen, What a nice trip you had. I enjoy seeing the birds and that sky! I miss Grebes. I have not yet seen one here. Maybe later this Winter I will spot one. Have a pleasant weekend!
Magnifiche foto Eil :)

Thank you for sharing your lovely photos with us, the colors and views are fabulous
Lovely photos of sunsets and great bird photos! As always :-)
I love the reflecting pictures. Beautiful!
It pays to get up early! Fantastic sunrise! Glassy water makes for wonderful reflections!
Breathtakingly beautiful Eileen. :)
All these photos are absolutely beautiful - well worth getting out of bed for!
What gorgeous sunrise images!!! I love seeing the birds flying against the sunrise!!! But my favourite image is the grebe, with those beautiful reflections!!!!
Absolutely stunning photos! It's easy to see why it was so hard to choose your favorites - I couldn't have! I say, post all gazillion, what's a little bandwidth gluttony when it comes to such beauty? :-)
The skies, the colors, the birds - all just magnificent. But the photo that keeps catching my eye the most is the one of the duck on the golden, rippled water! It's like he's swimming in liquid gold. Such a unique and gorgeous photo!
Gorgeous Gorgeous, have a nice weekend.
Beautiful bird photos!
Gorgeous sunrise, Eileen. Love those birds too!
What a place Eileen!!!
The reflection of the sunset (sunrise?) is stunning. The last one with the firey clouds in the water is gorgeous! #FavouriteFotos
