A great place for birdwatchers to be during spring and fall migrations. A self-guided driving loop leads you through the refuge.
Take the time to get a discriminating look and you might see Canadian geese, ducks, sandhill cranes and, if you’re lucky, an endangered whooping crane. If you’re visiting in mid-March, stop in the town of Monte Vista and celebrate the return of the whooping and sandhill cranes at the Crane Festival. The festival’s bus tours, wildlife art exhibits and presentations by renowned wildlife speakers are sure to please. |
