Bosque


Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. Finally, I get to be sixty.
Seems like a long time coming.

I got to do anything I wanted today, and Judy had to be nice to me all day.

We left Faywood and headed north to San Antonio, New Mexico. Birdwatcher's
RV Park, just outside Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. I got to
spend the afternoon with ten thousand sandhill cranes and thirty thousand
snow geese. A very noisy settling down for the evening. Altogether, thirty
different birds today. The hooded merganser was special. Peregrine falcon,
and more of my gambel's quail. A marsh wren. A spotted towhee.

A good day.
