Bosque
del Apache is Spanish for "woods of the
Apache," and is rooted in the time when the Spanish observed Apaches routinely camped
in the riverside forest. Since then the name
has come to mean one of the most spectacular National
Wildlife Refuges in North America. Here,
tens of thousands of birds--including
sandhill cranes, Arctic geese, and many kinds
of ducks--gather each autumn and stay through
the winter. Feeding snow geese erupt in explosions
of wings when frightened by a stalking coyote,
and at dusk, flight after flight of geese and
cranes return to roost in the marshes.
In the summer Bosque del Apache
lives its quiet, green life as an oasis in the arid lands that surround it.
