I was surprised and delighted to see a Green Heron on the
canal north of Home Lake (Rio Grande County). It is a rare migrant through this
area. Have not seen one here in many years.
The nearby willow trees along the lake were alive with
Orange-crowned, Yellow, YR, and Virginia’s Warblers, Warbling Vireo, and Western
Wood-pewee. Lincoln’s Sparrows were quite apparent as well. Lots to see and even
as I type this, I am just anxious to get back out there. Ever have that feeling
anyone????
