Bosque del Apache is a managed wildlife refuge. This means that nearly all aspects of the refuge are carefully planned, scheduled and altered to provide a successful environment for the wild residents.
Bosque provides a winter home for Sand Hill Cranes and a wide variety of water fowl including Canada and Snow Geese.
The water fowl held little interest to me (insert waterfowl pic) as
we see them quite often in migration and residence in MN. The same
was true of the relatively large number of Bald Eagles which seemed
to make the water fowl a bit nervous.
I did spot the Aplamado Falcon that has moved into the area.
This interesting little falcon is being reintroduced in this part of
the SW and is pretty rare.
