New Mexico Trip, Monday, Day 1, 11/26/2018
DSC_0445b.jpgWe drove into a north entrance of the WMA and saw birds around some of the buildings there, but once we got inside, we weren't seeing animals of any kind. We passed a pickup of bird hunters with a dog trailer; they told us they hadn't seen anything either, but we decided to continue. Finally, we came to some low trees with a small flock of bluebirds. |
