A managed environment

The Bosque is a carefully managed environment. Hang around a while and you begin to realize water levels in the ponds and wetlands are constantly monitored and adjusted. Food is grown and distributed for the wildlife. The ponds are drained and the grasses mowed. Even the snags the raptors to perch on grew up elsewhere.

Vision, Novelty and Fear

Animals see more intense contrasts of light and dark because their night vision is so much better than ours. Good night vision involves excellent vision for contrasts and relatively poor color vision.
