Headed down to Monte Vista this weekend. Saw 11 Sandhill Cranes at the Monte Vista NWR on Friday afternoon and another 9 on Saturday morning. Tons of Mallards, Northern Pintails and Canada Geese on hand along with a smattering of Teal, both Green-Winged and Cinnamon. The ponds are still mostly frozen over. There was a decent amount of open water on the interior of the auto tour loop on Friday, but a lot of it was iced over on Saturday morning.
Didn't see much going on at Alamosa NWR, aside from a Bald Eagle. Blanca Wetlands are closed until June 15 for nesting. I've posted some photos on my Flickr page (link below) and will be posting more soon.
