Photographer Jim Griggs will lead off the Smoky Hills Audubon Society’s fall program series on Thursday with a photographic tour of the legendary Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge.

Many people are familiar with the annual crane migration in Nebraska every spring. The cranes also gather in the fall in New Mexico as they have for thousands of years.

Those attending the Thursday presentation will have the ability to meet with Griggs beginning at 7 p.m. The presentation, which is open to the public at no charge, is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. Programs are presented in 229 Peters Science Hall at Kansas Wesleyan University. Peters Science Hall is in the southeast part of the campus.

The Smoky Hills Audubon Society has a program every month from September to May.
