Wildlife Refuge Tour

Today we went back to Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge, east of Roswell. We had a tour of part of the refuge and it's interesting eco system. They have a variety of animals including several endangered species found only in the Refuge. Learned a lot.

After our tour, we did some birding. The refuge bird population swells this time of year as the migrating birds spend the winter.

White Pelicans...

Long billed curlew...


The refuge has thousands of dragonflies and damselflies. Here's a picture of a dragonfly...

A few Avocets near the edge of a pond...


Beautiful day, and a awesome place. We'll be back again as Snow Geese and Sandhill Cranes will arrive in the thousands over the next few weeks!

Miss ya all,
