Feather Fun in Bosque del Apache

Feather Fun in Bosque del Apache

Loud honking and endless squawking…distinctive voices and for the seasoned bird watcher easily recognizable. Standing nearly five-feet tall, Sandhill cranes are light-colored grey but the deep red feathers on their head make them stand out in a crowd. The Sandhill cranes are seasonal visitors to Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge.
