Cavalcade o’ critters 7_16_26

Posted on July 17, 2026 by Jabo

This week’s creatures spotted around the grounds. It’s especially nice to see the return of the Rufous Hummingbirds. They are the smallest that we get and also the fightiest! Also glad to see a Swainson’s Hawk soaring overhead, a rare sight for me.

Smoke and sunsets 7_8_26

Posted on July 9, 2026 by Jabo

The various fires around New Mexico and Colorado are creating hazy skies depending on the wind direction. I’ve included a shot comparing the views during and after the smoke. It makes for a nice red sunset but looking closer, you can see the burned trees on the mountain tops from the fires that happened 20 years ago. Climate change is a reality that our leaders need to wake up and deal with NOW!

Fourth o’ July Fauna

Some of the local critters who were out on or about the holiday, including the quail chick who Joan rescued from the birdbath and the bobcat who hopefully passed them all by.
