Bosque del Apache Wildlife Refuge, NM

We were looking for diesel yesterday afternoon. Vic says this really is a one horse town. There is one gas station and it does not have diesel. We had to drive to the next town Socorro where diesel was $3.99 and regular was $3.59.

This is a chapel in this town, San Antonio, NM.

The mountains are so pretty

OK, I know I promised birds. We have lots of birds and some other animals too. Here we go!

Female Pyrrhuloxia

The Gambel’s Quail don’t fly well, instead they scurry around so fast they may as well fly.

It’s hard to get close to these creatures but if you’ll forgive the phone video …

Gambel’s Quail scurrying along.
