Three wildlife refuges are under one management entity here in Arizona. We are working on Imperial but we also work with the folks at the Kofa and Cibola refuges. We had a meeting up at Cibola. Cibola is up off of interstate 10 on the California- Arizona, Colorado River border south of Blythe, Ca. They have two workamper couples there that volunteer. They have nice rv pads for them with big shade canopies for their rigs. They deserve nice places to stay because they are really out in the middle of nowhere. Its almost 100 miles to a Walmart.
Cibola is managed more for waterfowl than we are at Imperial. They have bigger farm fields planted with corn and grain to attract them. When we were there we saw nice flocks of Sandhill cranes. We also saw lots of Canadian geese and pintail ducks but my favorite was the burrowing owls. They have built burrows out of sewer type pipe covered with sand and rock and a barrier dug deep into the earth to keep other critters out for the Burrowing owls. They sit outside their "burrows" and get some sun. They hunt for mice, etc. Very small and Cute!
