Bosque Del Apache

Bosque Del Apache translates into "woods of the Apache".  It is a wildlife regugee in central Mexico that goes along the Rio Grande River. One aspect of this area that is appealing is all the migratory birds that travel there during the winter. Bosque Del Apache has been inhabited for hundreds of years.  First by the Piro indians who settled there because of the rich soil and abundant plant and animal life.  Which is why it is such an ideal spot for photographers today. http://www.fws.gov/refuges/profiles/index.cfm?id=22520 accoridng to the Bosque Del Apache website some of the very common birds you could find there in Novemeber are the tree and barn swallow.  There are 20 different species that are common, one of which is the black-chined hummingbird.  One of the rare birds to see in november is the lesser goldfinch. http://friendsofthebosque.org/SeasonsFall.html
