They are also found in the mountainous interior west as far south as Arizona and New Mexico, as well as in the far northern reaches of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, and New England. I think we all know in which group I belong. I highly recommend a visit for the Gray Jays and a host of other reasons.

I asked a group of wildlife rehabilitators: “What are some of the Worst Bird Myths? That’s why I can’t take owls to a lot of my education programs out here in New Mexico.”. One might think that thanks to the Internet, all those ridiculous old wild animal myths handed down for generations would finally die a deserved death.

Their range of breeding is literally only very southern Wyoming to very northern New Mexico. They will undoubtedly be flying in small groups so expect to hear a few of those together in succession. Try hiking a Colorado 14,000 foot mountain and your chances of having these guys at your feet rise exponentially.

After our brief trip thru the great state of Texas, we were headed back into New Mexico, a state I was quite excited to explore. I have been all around the western states, here and there, but never spent any time in New Mexico. Our next stop was another mutually agreed upon stop, Albuquerque New Mexico.

Trinidad Colorado is located just a few miles north of the Colorado – New Mexico border, and home to the Trinidad Reservoir. In the past, seeing some of these Ring-necked Ducks would have been rather scarce, so here is a shot of the small group that were on the larger pond. Next week we will spend some time in New Mexico.

The Trump Administration interpretation of the MBTA is already the subject of multiple lawsuits, one by non-profit groups such as National Audubon Society and the American Bird Conservancy , and another by a group of eight states (New York, California, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Oregon).

The Sunshine State isn’t known for its massive snow drifts, nor for the massive flocks of Snow Geese that grace states like Texas and New Mexico every winter. Driving slowly along the refuge’s winding road, I spotted a group of cars pulled over on the shoulder. 2020 was that year for me! I love Snow Geese.
