The aplomado has been extinct at Bosque since the 1930's. A pair
was recently reintroduced. This is the adult that lives at the
north end of the reserve. It was a bit too far for a 600mm lens.
A bird tip: if a bird on a perch suddenly poops, it's a good sign
it will soon fly and provide a better photo of a take-off.
