The Rio Grande Bosque is a treasure we all need to visit more

Wed 01/11/12 at 10:29 pm

We’ve walked in various parts of the bosque (riparian woods, primarily cottonwoods) within Albuquerque over the years. A year ago, our walk resulted in one of my favorite photos of the year (coyote with ducks, a prize winner). This year, we watched a Northern Harrier (Marsh Hawk) stand in the river, one foot pinning its prey in the current. And there was a disheveled merlin, a handsome shoveler, a snipe, and a plethora of robins. I’ve added 9 pictures to the album (19 total).

Dynamite Kingfishers Of The Hula Valley : Birdchick

One of the big highlights visiting the Hula Valley in Israel was all the kingfisher action. This is a pied kingfisher, about the size and shape of belted kingfishers but are all crazy black and white. [Copyright © Birdchick.]

This time of year, I see merlins almost daily in the middle of Albuquerque, and the Cooper's hawks less often. This one was having breakfast. I took quite a few shots before he lost patience with me, as you can see.
