bitter lake national wildlife refuge印象

It's just a dried up, withered piece of land. Nothing of attraction there to my way of thinking. Easy enough to drive through and see most of it.

Fell upon this wonderful birder's paradise after leaving Bottomless Lakes State park. The wildlife auto road bringing you around to the cranes,ducks and geese was a pleasant drive. Well maintained and beautiful natural setting. Well come back for sure.

It was extremely windy when we went but other than this the park is laid out nicely. It is what it is, honestly. There are plenty of water fowl to see but you can easily see how the water is depleting and in the next decade it will probably be desert. We did see a snake and a roadrunner but no deer, bobcat, or badger. There are tracks showing they do live here but they would probably be closer to the ridge line. Other than this they are building pathways for future hikers, so something to look forward to. Tip: water and screen block. Enjoy!

The key to Bitter Lake is arrive in the afternoon and watch the birds come in for the night. There's ducks, geese and also thousands of sand hill cranes. Good roads to drive thru and find and nice spot to watch them flock to their evening roost.

Don't forget to pack your favorite camera and telephoto lense. Come at the right time of day, during the high season, using your best equipment and capture the enchantment of New Mexico wildlife.

We went mid-day. The walks are short but beautiful and very easy to walk. Only the Butterfly trail would be difficult for folks who have trouble with rough terrain or stairs but still very easy trail to walk and only 0.2 miles long. The driving route is about 6 miles. There's hunting allowed, so be mindful of that. Lots of cool birds to see that I've never seen anywhere else in NM. Free to the public.

We had an enjoyable few hours here. Didn't know what to expect but we saw cranes, tortoise and dragonfly. The ranger was knowledgeable and recommended where to go, what to look for and when to see things.

A different sort of park. Seems to be primarily of interest to bird watchers. There were an awful lot of birds there when I went. There is a dirt road you can cruise around the entire park, and it's free.

This is a great escape from the busy Main St. corridor and alien hoopla in Roswell - only about 7 miles east of the city. The visitor's center is a nice little oasis with interesting exhibits about the refuge and the animals in the area. They have driving, hiking, and biking trails, too. Wonderful way to spend about 1-4 hours in the Roswell area.

Open 8am to 4pm (Mon-Fri) Bitter Lake Refuge is a wonderful place in Roswell away from the alien stuff. Visited early in the morning and saw lots of birds including the migrating White Pelicans. There are more than 100 species of dragonflies & damselflies, and it's considered one of the most diverse populations in North America. In the fall there is a Dragonfly Festival which we missed, but saw several Dragonflies still flying around.We took the 6-mile loop drive around the Pecos River wetland area and took lots of photos.
