SUPERINTENDENT BETH DILLINGHAM SAYS THEY'LL BE THERE FOR A WHILE. SHE SAYS SOME STAY IN ALBUQUERQUE FOR THE WINTER AND CAN BE SEEN ALL ALONG THE BOSQUE.
DILLINGHAM TELLS 770 KKOB THE CRANES MOSTLY COME FROM WYOMING, UTAH AND IDAHO. SHE SAYS THE NATURE CENTER IS ALSO HOME RIGHT NOW TO A VARIETY OF DUCKS AND GEESE.
