About 75 miles north of Desert Haven Animal Refuge lies a very different kind of animal sanctuary. Near Socorro, New Mexico, the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge provides a haven for sandhill cranes, snow geese, ducks, bobcats, mountain lions, coyotes, and many more species of birds who winter here. Created by Frankin D. Roosevelt's Civilian Corps in the 1930's, the Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge combines farmland-

-and marshland-


The wingspan of these graceful cranes is over seven feet.

We were fortunate to get quite close to a flock of snow geese with a few cranes among them. Look at the sequence of four shots as the flock took off for the skies and flew overhead.
