And here are some shots from our time off visit to the grasslands.
Cactus Wren Nest
Don’t really know our cactus(es) but this looks like a Pincushion.
This is a close-up of Dagger Cholla.
No clue. But the swirl pattern is cool.
Is there such a thing as a Mushroom Cactus?
If not, we may want to let these guys know.
Love this place.
Are we too early? Or did we just miss the bloom?
Caught this one just in time.
Another victim of the Loggerhead Shrike.
The Mountain Bluebird looking pretty gray on this day.
More to come. More to come as we get caught up before we leave Sevilleta NWR.
