Excell Nature Safaris

Bosque del Apache

Nov 28-Dec 2, 2011 Limit 5

"I saw them first many Novembers ago and heard their triumphant trumpet calls, a hundred or more sandhill cranes riding south on a thermal above the Rio Grande Valley, and that day their effortless flight and their brassy music got into my soul."    Charles Kuralt

No descriptions, no photographs, not even a Discovery Channel special can prepare you for your first visit to Bosque del Apache.  Oh, you'll hear all about it from enthusiastic friends who have either been there or are recounting the stories of others who have.  You will hear the stories, do your research and you will think you know what to expect, that you are prepared.  Well, brace yourself, because you will never really experience the soul grabbing, heart swelling feeling of thousands of snow geese lifting off en masse, a cacophony of sound as loud as a low flying jet...right above your head...until you visit the Bosque and experience it for yourself, in person!  I warn you now, because you may very well forget to lift your camera to your eye and fire when the ritual begins.  I know, I still have to remind myself to photograph and not become mesmerized by the sensory explosion.
