Our job in Taos, a nonprofit school, it took all week. We didn't work at
the school, a collection of residential adobe style buildings; we worked at
administrative offices in an old military barracks. Adobe military barracks
from the turn of the century, as was the 18,000 square foot building across
the way, the old convent, now unoccupied. History and artwork. Taos.
We asked where we should go to see some birds. We were told there weren't
any good places around. We saw a ring necked pheasant in the field behind
the barbeque restaurant. We looked on the internet and found Baca Park,
just a few blocks down from where we worked, with a reference to the hard to
find, endangered willow flycatcher. Walked right to it, number 377. Willow
flycatcher.
Canyon towhees.
Time to move on. Sixty miles south. Santa Fe.
