A trip update from Bob, who is currently in New Mexico co-leading a natural history tour!
Wow! Another great day at Bosque del Apache with lots of great nature sightings. We added another 30 something species to the list, including a peregrine falcon and Bullock’s Oriole.
Yesterday we headed farther south to Elephant Butte State Park, which surrounds the state’s largest reservoir, before heading up and over Emory Pass at 8,228 feet. At that elevation, we found birds like mountain chickadee and Clark’s nutcracker.
We’ll be further exploring this southern area for the next few days – stay tuned!
