Heron & Egret nests, wetlands, & MountainsIt is hard to believe that our three months here at BdA are quickly coming to an end!\u00a0 We had so many ideas for things to do \u2026 but have only done a few.\u00a0 The Refuge is beautiful in the springtime!<\/p>\n

Cindy and the dogs visited for a while as Roger traveled for work.\u00a0 We visited two of the three Salinas Pueblo & Missions sites:<\/p>\n

Throughout the spring visitors and staff have regularly spotted over 150 different species of birds!\u00a0 (Not me, but the very good birders!)\u00a0 I have seen (and photographed) quite a few, but not that many!<\/p>\n
