The
vantage point for this picture, taken on March 22, 2003, is the SW
corner of the deck of the Crest House at Sandia Crest, Elevation 10,678
feet. To the
far left you can see the picture windows of the new Crest House Gift
Shop
extension. Continuing to the right, Rosy-finch Feeder #2 comes
into
view between the snow-flocked trees. Clouds obscure the southern
spine
of the Sandia Mountains. Moving right, the City of
Albuquerque appears to the west, below. Then we see the bare
aspen trees where Clark's
Nuthatchers gather (most winters) and the Northern Pygmy-owl sometimes
perches
during the day. Feeder #3 is attached to the deck railing on the
right.
Upslope to the north is the Crest public observation area
(obscured
by the trees).
This
image is composed of 8 separate handheld photos taken with a Canon A40.
They were joined together using Canon PhotoStitch.
