[Saturday] Going To the Birds

January 21, 2012 in New Mexico, [Saturday - Pretty Picture] | Tags: Bosque del Apache, Canada geese, Good to Grow, Liza's photos, Sandhill cranes, snow geese

Recently we took a trip to see the birds down at the Bosque del Apache wildlife refuge, roughly two hours south of Albuquerque. When Sandhill Cranes, Snow Geese and Canada Geese fly south for the winter, this is one of the places they go.

The pictures are not great, but hopefully they’ll give you the flavor of the place.

Man, I love those silly cranes!

About Me

Hi! My name is Liza. Welcome to my blog and thanks for visiting! I'm a Midwestern gal now living in the beautiful Land of Enchantment, Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have a plant care business here in town called Good To Grow.

I'm also a writer, dreamer and mischief maker. My goal with this site is to help teach people that plants are living breathing creatures, and if they're indoor houseplants, they are 100% dependent on human care. It's not like they can water themselves.

I update the site Monday through Saturday.

Please let me know if you have questions or if you would like help with your plants or garden. You can reach me at lizatheplantlady@gmail.com or follow me on Twitter, Lizawheeler7.

All photos are mine unless otherwise noted. All content is also entirely my hard work. If you'd like to use any content or photos, all you have to do is ask. If you take without asking, you are a thief. And thieves suck. So don't suck. We have a deal? Good.

Looks very peaceful and tranquilizing. Birds fly south here to Texas too. I’ve been in Texas for 6 years and still am amazed by how many birds are here. Also I got the cuttuings in the mail today and they’re nice and healthy. Thanks I really appreciate it!

Terrence, I’m glad you got the cuttings!

I get a big kick out of the birds, there are thousands and thousands of them.

I went to one of the places where the sandhills hang out while headed south in November, in Indiana. There is nothing so hilarious as their dangly feet as they float in for a landing.

Hi Diane! I love their silly legs too – they look so goofy when they come in for a landing!

They are here in AZ now too. They enjoy the “lakes” in my development of Sun Lakes. My little silky terrier loves to watch them and would love to chase them if she wasn’t tethered to me!
