Looks like we are well into the breeding season. Migration has passed and birds are building nests. I was excited to see Western Kingbirds, Northern Mockingbirds, Vesper Sparrows, and Sage Thrashers breeding on our property. We do take considerable efforts to protect bird habitat but also have to weigh the fire hazards as one wildfire came unnervingly close in March, while we were up in the mountains skiing. Had an expert give us some recommendations and will have to do a bit more mowing.
I have also just completed the springtime portfolio of bird and fauna images, most taken in the San Luis Valley. The theme is "fastest animals" and includes images of Peregrine Falcons. If interested check out "Recent Additions' on my webpage and hope you enjoy them. http://johnrawinski.zenfolio.com/ Headed out tomorrow to explore Costilla County and will report what we find.
