Vlog #16 Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge
This Vlog describes our departure from our house sit in Albuquerque driving to Sumner Lake SP Park NM, and then on to Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge in Muleshoe Texas. We figured since the weather still was pretty chilly we would take the relatively short hop over to Texas and take in two state parks, Caprock Canyons and Palo Duro Canyon. We would use Sumner Lake State Park and Muleshoe NWR as stops en route. Sumner Lake State Park proved to be disappointing from an aesthetic point of view and the overnight stay was further disappointing because of the campers next to us. Keeping a clean camp is respectful, both to your neighbors, yourself and your state park.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge is a 6,440-acre (26.1 km2) wildlife refuge located about twenty miles (32 km) south of Muleshoe, Texas on Texas State Highway 214. It is the oldest National Wildlife Refuge in the U.S. state of Texas, having been established as the Muleshoe Migratory Waterfowl Refuge by executive order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1935. Roosevelt issued a proclamation in 1940 changing the name to the Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge is a stop for migratory waterfowl flying between Canada and Mexico.
The refuge includes several intermittent salt lakes, some of which have been modified to extend their wet periods. Paul's Lake, on the east side of Highway 214, is spring fed, and hosts wildlife during times when the other lakes are dry. If sufficient water is present during the winter, the refuge hosts tens of thousands of sandhill cranes. The largest number of cranes ever recorded was 250,000, during February, 1981.
Other wildlife includes wood warblers, meadowlarks, raptors, burrowing owls, blacktailed prairie dogs, jackrabbits, cottontail rabbits, coyotes, and badgers.
The prairie ecosystem includes plant life such as wildflowers, grasses, yucca, cacti, and mesquite. Rangeland management techniques include controlled burning and grazing.
Northeast of White Lake is a small area of white gypsum dunes, similar to those found at White Sands National Monument in New Mexico, though these are much less expansive.

First Common Crane Spotted in Texas
On November 18, 2014, Justin Bosler spotted a Eurasian Common Crane (Grus Grus) on Goose Lake at the Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge near Muleshoe, Texas. This was the first time the Common Crane was ever seen in the state of Texas and one of the few times it has been seen in North America. See our interview with Texas Tech graduate student Justin Bosler and birder Brent Franklin about the Common Crane. Thousands of birders from all over the country have traveled to see the Common Crane in the Muleshoe area since the original spotting.
