Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge

I'd love to have our first program in 2027.

I'm thinking ours might be closer to the wintertime because I'm thinking of locations in Bosque del Apache comes to mind.

It's one of the greatest birding areas in the world.

And I think our program would be really powerful if it could coincide with Festival of the Cranes.

This is when the Sandhill Crane Migration is coming into Bosque del Apache.

And one of the most... fascinating emergence in nature I've ever had is laying out in a field when a humongous flock of sandhill cranes is coming in to land all around you and the sounds that they make and the wing beats.

And it's just, it's, there's no way to describe it.

The, the furthest south you went was down, oh, Bosque Apache, that makes sense.

Bosque Del Apache.

Yeah.

Yeah, we-

Although, I don't know that we had really gotten anything other than Phainopepla that wasn't visible from the rest.

Okay.

So is that, does the Bosque Del Apache staff have the van tour? You do it right there?

Yeah, I believe so.
