Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge, Roswell

Terrific area for bird watching.I'm from Indiana where the sandhill cranes rest enroute to this location. The eight mile drive was just right for a family outing. This is truely a one tank getaway. I'll be back (next time with appropriate hiking gear). Actually observed two hawks battling over a rabbit kill. A small bronze colored snake slithered across the road near the bathrooms. Wasps (?) were everywhere near the signs and bathrooms. It was just too neat to have a road runner scamper across the road and then climb a tree and pose for a pic.
