Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge in HDR

Wildlife Refuge

This weekend we went to the Monte Vista National Wildlife Refuge. It is the wintering and breeding ground for more than 20,000 Sand Hill Cranes. One might even be lucky enough to see a Whooping Crane, but there are only less than five hundred in North America.
