Here’s our most heavily used take-out on the Racecourse white water run of the Rio Grande river – the County Line – under a fresh blanket of snow. This was the first big snowstorm of the season.

NWR owner Kathy Miller got the Holiday spirit and decorated the NWR headquarters like never before. Here’s wishing you all peace and goodwill.
Season's Greeting!
There are a number of bird species that winter on the Rio Grande – most notably the bald eagle. Also, one always sees Goldeneye ducks, Mallards and Canada Geese. It’s now early December, the weather is still mild, and all the afore-mentioned species have arrived. Welcome back!
