On Wednesday, February 18, to get us excited about the annual Crane Festival in Monte Vista, Colorado, we have invited local photographer and member of the Pagosa Springs Photography Club, Doug Coombs, to share his beautiful images of sandhill cranes. Coombs is well known to photographers regionally with a portfolio including images from around the world.  His program will include images from national wildlife refuges spanning Bosque del Apache in New Mexico to Monte Vista in the San Luis Valley of Colorado.  Bosque del Apache and nearby Ladd S Gordon wildlife areas in New Mexico are renowned for their opportunities to see and photograph many species of birds and other wildlife, but Sandhill Cranes and Snow Geese in particular. These over-wintering species can put on a remarkable show when they lift off from the ponds at the Refuges around sunrise.  Doug has traveled to these areas for many years to photograph these amazing sights, and will share his knowledge of when to visit, where to photograph, and other tips; along with many of his outstanding photos from these Refuges.  Prior to moving to Pagosa Springs, Coombs worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and was active with the Los Alamos Photography Club.   You can learn more about his work on his website, dougsview.com.
