We will be making our way down to the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge on Saturday, November 16th. Kick stands up at 9:00 a.m. from Thunderbird Harley-Davidson.

 

Bosque del Apache Nation Refuge is located in San Antonio and is situated between the Chupadera Mountains to the west and the San Pascual Mountains to the east. The 57,331 acre refuge was established in 1939 to provide a critical stopover site for migrating waterfowl. The refuge is well known for the tens of thousands of cranes, geese, and ducks who winter here each year. A few duck have already been observed around the tour loop and at least one large flock of sandhill cranes and snow geese on the ground. Typically by the last week of October the firs flocks have arrived at the refuge. Historically, larger flocks of cranes, ducks, and geese may be observed from mid-November to mid-January.  

 

We will stop at the visitors center for a group photo and time to look around the visitors center or the adjacent Desert Arboretum. Please note for those who wish to stay and do the loop, it is a dirt road and there is a $5.00 entry fee.

 

We will then head back to San Antonio where kick stands will be officially down for lunch at the Buckhorn Tavern for green chile cheeseburgers.
