![]() | Bitter LakeNational Wildlife Refuge - New Mexico |
Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge is located in two separate sections in central Chaves County, New Mexico, a few miles northeast of the city of Roswell. Both sections lie on the banks of the Pecos River. The refuge provides habitat for migratory birds such as the sandhill crane and the snow goose, but it is also notable for rare native fish and the over 90 species of dragonflies and damselflies that inhabit the refuge.
