Carbello State Park

Riverside Campground NM

04.08.25

We got here on April 7th. After skipping across Texas we stopped at Ft. Bliss, an Army base, for 4 days.

The campsites at Carbello are spaced far apart, very roomy sites. Each one has a picnic table and a metal roof covering. The Rio Grande flows next to the campground.

Here is us:

Rio Grande, not very wide or fast moving here

I walked around in the late afternoon and saw several birds. The lighting wasn’t the best but I did get a Vermillion Flycatcher.

Now we are at Bosque del Apache, NM, one of our very favorite wildlife refuges. Early mornings are usually best but this time of year the afternoons have given us our best photo-ops.

Coyote

This creature was so tame, he walked along the side of the road and didn’t react to our truck at all.

This one has its mouth open, they make a very distinctive trilling sound.
