| 12/26/2019 to 1/13/2020 We had a grand trip out west via Colorado and Nevada to see family for the holidays (birding a bit on the side), then went on to chase some rarities. We searched for the Rose-ringed Parakeet in Bakersfield and the Garganey being seen in CA, the Ruddy Ground-dove and Rosy-faced Lovebird in AZ, and the Black Rosy-Finch and the Common Crane in NM. It was great to visit these spots and we were able to see all of these special birds except the Common Crane (which was like looking for a Waldo amidst the huge number of Sandhill Cranes)!

| 1/9-13/20 Albuquerque, NM: Bosque del Apache and Bernardo NWR: Sandhill Crane study. There were thousands of these magnificent birds! It was great fun to watch them wake, shake, then test the ice. Getting ready to fly, they would stare forward for while, then lean forward intently for another long while, then suddenly decide to do it and start to run for the take-off! |
