Bernardo Wildlife Area

Bernardo Wildlife Area is a paradise for wildlife and photography enthusiasts. Located along the Rio Grande, this 1,675-acre preserve is famous for the winter habitat of thousands of Canada cranes, snow geese and ducks.

The oasis of tranquility offers picturesque views of scattered poplar trees, tamarisk thickets, a pond and small wetlands. It's an ideal place to watch birds, elk, raptors and songbirds in their natural habitat.

The stunning scenery and abundance of wildlife make this place a true photographer's paradise, especially in winter, when waterfowl gather here in large numbers.
