Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge

Each fall my wife and I enjoy the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. If you’re a bird watcher or into photography it’s a must do. Bosque del Apache Refuge is recognized as one to the top birding areas in the U.S. In the fall the refuge is open from sunrise till sunset for all to enjoy the beauty of Mother Nature. We enjoy watching and taking photos of the some 15,000 sandhill cranes, ducks, snow geese, Ross’ geese, pintails, shovelers, eagles and a huge host of other birds. You will find good hiking trails or bike or drive around pulling over to enjoy the birds and critters from observation decks. You will find mule deer, elk, coyotes, porcupines, turtles, turkey and roadrunners creeping around in the high grasses of Bosque del Apache Refuge. We have even spotted a lone wolf and Javelin along the waters edge looking for prey! This is a very cool experience so see you there!

If you’re considering the sale or purchase of an Albuquerque or Rio Rancho home it would be my pleasure to help you. I love what I do and I look forward to sharing my knowledge of the area with you. I am easy to remember and just as easy to find.

Hi John. Great pictures you got there. It was a great idea to wear a hat with all those feathered friends flying over head.

Hi John~ Breath taking shots! i love the way you captured the geese rising from the water! It is almost as if they are running on the surface.

What a great place for a bicycle ride! I just got a new bike a few months ago, and now that I'm back from the desert, I think we better do some bicycle exploring this weekend as well!

Best regards from Seattle Q Man!

What a wonderful place for photographs. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. You almost have us ready to move to your area.

With very attractive prices and very low mortgage interest rates, this is a time of great opportunity for home buyers.

Enjoy the fall activities and be sure to have your camera in hand for those special moments.

Life is better when there are flowers to photograph!
