Salt Cedar (also called Tamarisk) is an invasive plant problem along the Rio Grande River, including within the refuge. It has been an ongoing project to try to eradicate it as much as possible inside the refuge to encourage the growth of native plant communities.
We usually see Northern Harriers hunting at the refuge, but their flight habits make it difficult to get good photo opportunities.
