El Paso, TX

There are several places to bird in this area. It seems like the best times are during migration periods, but we have been doing pretty well. All of the recent rains have made the places that are usually dry in the summer quite wet. Yesterday we picked up a couple new birds. We did see a peregrine flacon, but my favorite find was the wood duck. This was so exciting. They are usually found at this one pond (Crossroads Pond), but you never know what you are going to get to see. I think that we were seeing a whole family. It was so cool!!!!--- While we were out in this one park we did get to also see some long eared rabbits. They were HUGE!!!! They are tan, but have black on the tips of their ears and a little black on their feet and tail. It was very fun to watch them.
