It's a beautiful Nature Friday here in New Mexico! A pawfect time to show you some of the special feathered friends who have visited our backyard lately!
These house finches may not be too special, but Mama and I love seeing them chattering at the "water cooler" in the morning
This Juvenile Cooper's Hawk has been stopping by almost every afternoon for an afternoon dip in the "pool"!
This little guy is a Curved Bill Thrasher, he looks like he could be in a Muppet Movie, don't you think??
He roams the backyard in the morning looking for breakfast bugs.
The next two visitors were our prettiest yet!
This pretty Western Kingbird likes to sit on top of the Texas Yucca flowers and scope things out...
He's only stopped by a couple of times, but Mama and I love seeing his pretty yellow tummy!
Here we have a Black Crowned Night Heron who showed up one evening. Daddy saw him walking by the waterfall and by the time Mama stopped freaking out and got her camera, he was in the tree in the backyard.
Mama saw these pretty herons at the Arcata Marsh while we were in California but, once again, we were amazed to learn they live down here too!!
We hope you enjoyed seeing some of the cool birdies passing through our yard and hope you can get out and enjoy some nature this weekend!!
