Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge | Approximately 50,000 Snow Geese and 15,000 Greater Sandhill Cranes spend October through February at the refuge. They are joined by a few Ross’s Geese, 20 species of ducks, several ravenous raptors, including Bald Eagles and Northern Harriers, resident Roadrunners, and a variety of songbirds. November through February is prime time. The exquisite light, spectacular scenery, and abundance of birds makes Bosque del Apache one of North America’s premier locations for bird-photography.

In addition to providing habitat for migrating feathered friends, the refuge’s cottonwood forests and shrublands provide habitat for javelina, bobcats, bears, elk, deer, mountain lions and the endangered meadow jumping mouse.

Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge is home to as many as 15,000 sandhill cranes, 1000s of geese and 20 species of ducks during the winter months.
