"You'll find some of the best neotropical bird-watching anywhere here," says Friedman. "When Ted hosted Jimmy Carter at the Ladder, they spotted more than a hundred birds. The former president was able to add something like 20 new species to his list." Perhaps one of the most breathtaking sights anywhere in North America occurs most summer evenings on the Armendaris. "At dusk, a mind-blowing five million bats fly out of the ancient lava tubes to go feast on insects. It's literally a river of bats, an amazing natural phenomenon the likes of which you'd expect to see only in Africa." Exceptional sights, along with a wide range of activities, have spurred interest in Ted Turner Expeditions from visitors across America and around the world. "In the end, this is a legacy project for Ted and his family," Friedman says. "The idea is to balance conservation with economic stability. It's not easy to start a hospitality company to support your vision of biodiversity on your private lands. But Ted Turner has overcome much bigger obstacles in his career, hasn't he?" W I N T E R 2 0 1 5 | The LandReport 77 LANDREPORT.COM Ted Turner's legendary hospitality is evident at his New Mexico properties: Vermejo Park (above), the Ladder Ranch (opposite above), and the Sierra Grande Lodge & Spa in Truth or Consequences (opposite below).
