Hi All,
In previous visits, Bosque offered 50,000+ snow geese and 5,000+ Sandhill cranes. These birds usually stay until mid- February. There are still tens of thousands of snow geese but in the last two weeks the crane population shrank from 6,000 to 1,000 to 100.
We took an interesting volunteer led van tour and learned how they manage the water levels throughout the refuge.
A few hundred snow geese and a few Ross's geese
Wonderful contrast between the bare cottonwoods and clear blue sky
A few cranes flew in around sunset
But there weren't more than a dozen on this pond.
Love,
