Fly In is a large painting that I did from images that I saw at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. I watched the Sandhill Cranes flying in to the marshes in the evening to form large flocks. They leave the marshes during the day to feed in the fields, but at night they gather in the marshes. When we were visiting the Refuge, there were 4,000 cranes. Later, 16,000 more join the 4,000 and they spend the winter at the Refuge.
