is it too early to see the cranes and geese etc the week of Nov.17th?

I. Saw about 2 hogs a lynx 20 young deers also a thousand white ducks one eagle and 500 cranes

Plenty to see now.

They're here in good numbers now but not so many as usual. Due to the extreme drought New Mexico has experienced this year they have been filling the fields only gradually. However, I hear that they are starting to increase the amount of water now so you should be able to see more very soon. You may not know that the decks and boardwalk have been closed for months. Thankfully, they just reopened. You should also check out Ladd Gordon, located just off I25 Exit 150. Nice just before sunset.
