		Thanks to Bitter Lake National Wildlife Refuge, thousands of migratory waterfowl make Roswell their home during the frigid winter months — providing residents with, arguably, some of the most impressive sights and sounds in nature.
		That’s when Bitter Lake completed its transition from recreation area to wildlife refuge — protecting not only the migratory waterfowl but also the Pecos pupfish, the greenthroat darter, the mosquito fish, the endangered Pecos gambusia, Roswell spring snails and Noel’s amphipods.
		For the first 40 years of its existence, Magera said Bitter Lake was seen by residents as a spot to recreate and very little else — an attitude encouraged by the refuge’s employees.
