[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Rio Grande bisects the city of Albuquerque. The nature centre is very close to the river-where ponds have been created to provide wintering grounds for migratory birds. It is a busy place with lots of visiting ducks, cranes and song birds.
Early morning bird walks are great fun. The naturalists are very knowledgeable and make the walks very interesting.
