I'm just stopping by to say how delightful your blog is. Thanks so much for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often.

About the bird with the yellow belly..., I noted that the tail is notched like a finch, then noticed the yellow above the black wings, so I'm guessing the bird is a goldfinch. Also, the duck wit the dark rump is possibly the gadwall.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418668511495166842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-13599733172834087382014-05-01T08:32:45.799-06:002014-05-01T08:32:45.799-06:00Love the bird with the fancy "do"Love the bird with the fancy "do"Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-45184891691453240342014-05-01T05:32:31.430-06:002014-05-01T05:32:31.430-06:00Brown-crested flycatcher--none of those little guy...Brown-crested flycatcher--none of those little guys here at the end of the road.

The Flycatchers sure do look similar!<br /><br />I wish they would show photos of the birds with their crests up - I assumed that was a natural state for him, but maybe he was showing off for a female in the area. :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-1206751005393669172014-04-30T15:05:13.871-06:002014-04-30T15:05:13.871-06:00Roxi - the Orioles I posted were taken next to you...Roxi - the Orioles I posted were taken next to your site - it seemed like most of them are down there at the end, and there were a lot!

I seem to remember reading that there are many places to camp on that annual pass. If you are prepared to dry camp it is a great way to spend several months travelling around. I love your pictures. When you look at pictures of peoples dress in the Victorian age it seems they modelled their garb on bird plumage, but the real birds are better.<br /><br />I had to edit this because I couldn't find the source I had read of the number of State parks so went with the generic "many".<br /><br />jonthebruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269783679431506513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-65759885345636759692014-04-30T13:47:00.200-06:002014-04-30T13:47:00.200-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.jonthebruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269783679431506513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-76953843063961848882014-04-30T10:13:56.725-06:002014-04-30T10:13:56.725-06:00This post was for the birds!

It allows free dry camping (some of the dry camping sites have water, though) and if you want an electric site, you pay only $4/night with the pass.<br /><br />Almost all of the New Mexico State Parks have dump stations and you just drive to them and empty your tanks with your grey/black hose. It's free, as is the fresh water for your fresh water tank. :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8380348623382527060.post-39537245679993649142014-04-29T19:08:13.531-06:002014-04-29T19:08:13.531-06:00I'd never seen a bird with a short haircut.
