South Alkali Flats Duckpond
A small freshwater pond set against New Mexico’s alkali flats — a quiet birding spot offering strong reflections, long low-angle light, and big open skies. Best at sunrise or sunset for warm side light and color; mornings bring active waterfowl. Expect remote dirt access and limited parking at the roadside pullout; no formal facilities. Wind can be strong; check weather and arrive before golden hour. Excellent for isolated bird portraits, mirrored compositions and minimalistic wide-angle shots.
