Darn it! We’re done here. Done with Silver City. I think we need another job here so we can come more than once a year.
Finished up this morning, drove as far as Bosque del Apache. Spent a couple hours in the preserve. Eared grebes, white faced ibis, sharp shinned, coopers, swainson’s, ring-necked pheasants without rings around their necks. They were all white winged (Afghanistan) variety. Black necked stilts, american avocets, long billed dowitchers, snipe, black phoebes everywhere, a good look at a marsh wren, chipping, savannah, and white crowned. Plus all the usual suspects. Not enough time here. We stop for the night on the way through, then wish we had a couple days to spend.
Ah well, maybe next time.
Tomorrow, Colorado Springs. Becky, Brian and the kids are there on a spring break trip. Can you believe it’s spring break already? We hope to meet up with them for a day at the zoo.
