Depart from Albuquerque at 6:30 am from the Nativo Lodge on San Mateo and I-25. We will be providing transportation in a van so you can catch a snooze on the way if you like. Please bring or have breakfast beforehand.
Depending on the birds, we’ll be heading to either Elephant Butte Lake or Bosque del Apache NWR. We’ll bird several spots during the day spending lots of time searching through as many shorebirds as we can find. Dinner will be in Socorro before we return home.
Return to Albuquerque by 8:00 pm.
Although we will typically adhere to the above itinerary, the exact schedule of the tour is liable to change depending on local conditions and of course the birds!
