In the past year, along the Rio Grande in the heart of the city, we\u2019ve seen a peregrine falcon, a nest with two baby great-horned owls, and others have seen bald eagles. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mjhinton\/tags\/birds\/\">Birds<\/a> of prey seem to be thriving in Albuquerque.<\/p>\n<p> <embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/s\/c\/bin\/slideshow.swf\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" flashvars=\"host=picasaweb.google.com&#038;captions=1&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feat=flashalbum&#038;RGB=0x000000&#038;feed=http%3A%2F%2Fpicasaweb.google.com%2Fdata%2Ffeed%2Fapi%2Fuser%2Fmarkjusticehinton%2Falbumid%2F5569307171015802513%3Falt%3Drss%26kind%3Dphoto%26hl%3Den_US\" pluginspage=\"http:\/\/www.macromedia.com\/go\/getflashplayer\"><\/embed>   <\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 194px\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"background: url(http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/s\/c\/transparent_album_background.gif) no-repeat left 50%; height: 194px\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/markjusticehinton\/BirdsOfPrey?feat=embedwebsite\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 1px 0px 0px 4px\" src=\"http:\/\/lh5.ggpht.com\/_uC0tbxc2DY0\/TUonXVVuvpE\/AAAAAAAADyI\/pbXxtEaVPJA\/s160-c\/BirdsOfPrey.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 11px\"><a style=\"color: #4d4d4d; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none\" href=\"http:\/\/picasaweb.google.com\/markjusticehinton\/BirdsOfPrey?feat=embedwebsite\">Birds of prey<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A special welcome to visitors from NewWest.net.
