Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge, NM

This wildlife refuge is only an hour from Valley of Fire so we had an easy drive. An older couple has been here a while (we think they live here), long enough to set out some bird seed blocks next to a little tree providing shade. Vic got very excited when he realized the set up and how many birds were coming in for food. He positioned the truck where he could take pictures without disturbing the birds and sat out there for an hour shooting.

Yesterday (May 13) was World Migratory Bird Day and we are in an ideal place to participate. Thank you Linda Tokarz for the tip!

This post is desert animals and flowers.

The vivid colors on these cacti are stunning.

While we were in Lackland AFB and met Chuck, we learned about Weboost. It’s an antenna for increased internet and phone signal. It sure came in handy yesterday. We had a thunderstorm, not a very bad one but it knocked out our reception until Vic put the Weboost up.
