Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico: February 2015
http://birdwatchersnotebook.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico. Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Which leaves much to be desired, as you can see, so I found this one on the USFWS public domain photos website. Monday, February 16, 2015. Migration in full swing. Last week was full of dumb stuff we had to do, much of it out of town, which ate up an uncommon amount of our time and energy. While I was working on getting some decent pictures of the waterfowl, one of our local celebrities showed up to check me out. Sunday was a gorgeous day a...

Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico: December 2015
http://birdwatchersnotebook.blogspot.com/2015_12_01_archive.html
Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico. Thursday, December 31, 2015. Be smart and be safe this New Years Eve - but have a bit of fun! Here's hoping you have a wonderful New Year with lots of birds! Monday, December 28, 2015. I ran about getting everyone fed while hubby unloaded the car and started the nacho fixings. In short order we were settled at the table, watching the rain and munching down. 8220;Sour cream” he says. Some days I am not too sure who is in charge around the ranch…. Click here to subscrib...

Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico: Urban Coyote
http://birdwatchersnotebook.blogspot.com/2016/10/urban-coyote.html
Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico. Sunday, October 16, 2016. Urban wildlife never fails to delight me. I enjoy seeing wild things that manage to live right under our noses - generally without clueless city people even noticing them. Speaking of clueless city folk - this young man comes strolling through the parking lot - and we're pointing and yelling "Coyote! He never did see it. After leaving us a symbol of his opinion of the whole thing. And having one last laugh . Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico: June 2016
http://birdwatchersnotebook.blogspot.com/2016_06_01_archive.html
Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico. Thursday, June 9, 2016. Las Cruces Dam Reclaimation Project. It was very nice to see that the City and the Core of Engineers have made the effort to create this space for their desert wildlife and birds. There is a planned walking trail system, although it is not complete yet. The trailhead for was has been done is in the other direction, but now that I know it is there I will probably see if it is close enough for me to walk to. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico: December 2016
http://birdwatchersnotebook.blogspot.com/2016_12_01_archive.html
Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico. Thursday, December 15, 2016. A Pair of Peregrines! The title says peregrine, why am I looking at a tree? Well, because this is as close as I can get you. The falcons didn't feel like having their photo taken. But yesterday I had such a wonderful sighting that I had to share it as soon as I could. Which is when the SECOND falcon flushed and flew over to my favorite tree, which I had been sitting in earlier. Maybe I should keep my distance next time! Every dime I make g...

Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico: September 2016
http://birdwatchersnotebook.blogspot.com/2016_09_01_archive.html
Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico. Monday, September 12, 2016. The Migrants are Coming. Saturday at the Reclaimation area I flushed a Great Blue Heron from his hiding place under the trees fishing in the shallows of the playa. Ducks swam in the deeper parts. It was barely dawn and so I could only see them as dark silhouettes but I got the impression they were Shovelheads. I wouldn't want to swear to it though. Flocks of blackbirds arrowed by overhead. And now would be a good time to do it! But you have...

Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico: October 2016
http://birdwatchersnotebook.blogspot.com/2016_10_01_archive.html
Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico. Tuesday, October 25, 2016. An Autumn Walk in New Mexico. This handsome male purple finch posed pretty in the top of a tree and sang me a little song. Now that there is water in the little desert playa, there are water birds. In the last month I've seen glimpses of ducks and a flock of coots, and a flock of killdeer have taken up residence. There are six killdeer blending in remarkably well with the caliche' soil in the photo above. One thing that has always been a joy...

Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico: June 2015
http://birdwatchersnotebook.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Bird Watchers Notebook - New Mexico. Monday, June 1, 2015. I don't know about you - but I browse bird books. I look at pictures and read descriptions and think - oooo, I'd like to see that in real life someday. One of my "wanted" birds for many years was a Phainopela. Imagine, a shiny black cardinal with a brilliant red eye that is actually a flycatcher! When I finally moved to New Mexico, they were still elusive. I would see one, or a flock, once and then they would be gone. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
