波士奇日出前觀看雪雁起飛（fly-out）是不可錯過的美景。日出前大約半小時，Flight
Deck已站滿了三腳架和觀眾。假如你不願和別人擠，你可在Flight Deck左右水邊的樹
木間找個開口，一樣的美景。大部分用“大炮”的攝友都是在水邊--不想被別人無意踢到
三腳架的腳。

雪雁黎明起飛是每天重複的事件。但是它們怎樣起飛卻是天天都不同的。最壯觀就是看
到它們全部一起起飛。但那是很難得一見的奇景。一般都是分開起飛。能看到幾千隻雪雁
同時起飛可算是幸運的了。假如是拍照，朝霞是另一重要的因素。還有風力和風向。所有
這些有利因素碰在一起的機率是很小很小的。下面記錄的這次日出算是不錯的。假如要
打分，可以給個65分（滿分100）。

1. 日出前大約40分鐘。雖然看不到多少雪雁，可是它們的叫聲已經奏起了黎明的交響樂。

2. 早起的一小群雪雁

3. 早起的兩隻沙丘鶴

4. 大群雪雁起飛

5.

6.

7.

8. 尾聲

9. 在太陽升出地平線之前，雪雁都飛走了

10. 只有沙丘鶴還留戀着這瞬間即逝的燦爛

11. 太陽升出地平線，朝霞的“魔術”表演也完了

"Bird-watching has its skeptics, but those skeptics probably haven’t seen a skyful of sandhill cranes angle into a pond at sundown, legs unfurled like landing gear, and hit the water as the sun drops below the Chupadera Mountains. Welcome to the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico.

An hour and a half south of Albuquerque, the Bosque (pronounced boss-kay) is an unapologetic back-to-nature trip.

A swath of wetlands along the Rio Grande, it’s home not just to the sandhill cranes and snow geese that migrate here each winter, but also an entire Jungle Book of the feathered and four-legged: elk, deer, javelinas, turtles, songbirds, and even the occasional cougar. And with its brilliant winter skies, never-ending views, and sense of solitude, the Bosque invites end-of-year reflection.

Dawn show

The sunrise fly-out is one of the best bird-watching times at the Bosque (the other is the sunset fly-in, so if you’re not a morning person, don’t feel you have to become one now).

Get to the refuge a half-hour before sunrise and drive past the fee station to the Flight Deck, a large wood platform that juts into a pond.

Most cars stop here, but if you want to avoid the crowds, park 30 to 40 yards farther down and walk to an opening in the trees, where you’ll see sleeping geese bobbing on the water.

At some invisible signal, the geese take off en masse, each accompanied by a loud thumping thwap! on the water. After gaining some height, they peel off in small groups, a sea of opal white underbellies.

Stick around and you’ll see the more solitary cranes wake up. Watch them strut in the shallows before launching into the sky like airplanes on a runway, 8-foot wingspans and all."
