Debby S commented on Bosque Bill's group Burque Birding

"Great idea! Now I know where the swallows who patrol the arroyo/ditch between Kit Carson Park and Tingley Beach hang out. I saw about half a dozen this morning, including one who sat on a telephone wire for me so I could get movies of…"

"Speaking of swallows ... park sometime at the NE corner of the Central Ave. bridge over the Rio Grande, and take a short walk down underneath the bridge, right at the river's edge, and look up. There must be a hundred swallows' nests…"

Debby S commented on Bosque Bill's group Burque Birding

"Saw and photographed 4 Swallows at their usual mid Spring hang out, Central and San Mateo. I think that perhaps the evening lights attract bugs for them, and the birds also may grab bugs from car grills. Then I saw a single Swallow as my…"

Bosque Bill replied to Debby S's discussion Mystery Bird for May 3, 3013 in the group Burque Birding

"Not exactly. If you read my reply carefully I said "I believe your guess for Prairie Warbler is right on, though it would be nice if some east coast birders could confirm this." I don't know what the birds were that I…"

Bosque Bill replied to Debby S's discussion Mystery Bird for May 3, 3013 in the group Burque Birding

"Looked at my photos. Not the same species as yours, which I still think are Prairie Warblers. Don't know what mine are."

Bosque Bill replied to Debby S's discussion Mystery Bird for May 3, 3013 in the group Burque Birding

"Ha, ha. I saw a couple of birds that looked very much like these yesterday morning at Bottomless Lakes State Park in a salt cedar. I took a few photos and at present have no clue as to what they are. Once I download the photos from my camera…"

"Kingbirds are definitely back in town. Saw one at about 8th and Coal this morning, then later another (or the same one?) near the fire station at 8th and Silver (the birds have liked that area over the years). One was in a tree near my front…"

Profile Information

Where I Live:: North Valley in the little neighborhood immediately southwest of the Alameda Bridge called Bosque Dell Acres.

About Me:: I was born and raised in Albuquerque, was in the first graduating class of West Mesa HS, but was away for many years and am very happy to be back home!

Follow me on Twitter... http://twitter.com/Bosque_Bill

Favorite Thing(s) About Albuquerque:: Birding, biking, the bosque & Beethoven... that about sums it up. Check out my website for a comprehensive list of birds found in these parts, for an interactive map of biking and hiking trails in the bosque and foothills, and more.

My Website:: http://www.bosquebill.com

What I'm Reading:: Been reading the Lord Peter Whimsey series by Dorothy L. Sayers - very well written mysteries set in those golden days of the 1920's in England after the Great War and before the Depression.

I read all the time, always have. My first choice is quality Science Fiction - love space opera, adventure & explorations, and aliens (no, sorry, don't believe they've landed... and you should be glad they have not!) I'll dip into thrillers and/or mysteries from time to time. Anything to escape reality.

Ironic, as my TV habits are just the opposite, mostly non-fiction, as seen on Discovery Ch., PBS, History Ch., Science Ch., ESPN, etc.

Obviously, I don't use this blog very often. No, I'm not asleep, I'm doing other things such as posting to Burque Birding or Open Space or Born in Burque or Westside or Isotopes Fans or… Continue

Happy New Year

Posted on January 1, 2008 at 10:13am 0 Comments 0 Likes

I'm trying to work on my bird list database queries to accommodate the new year... what I call my Y2.008K problem, but my head is too fuzzy this morning... so I'm doing this instead.

Finished the second Daniel Abraham novel weeks ago and can highly recommend it - I can't wait for the next two "seasons."

OK, enough goofing off. Back to the code mill.

Daniel Abraham's Novels

Posted on November 20, 2007 at 5:36pm 0 Comments 0 Likes

Hey yall,

I'm in the middle of the second of Daniel Abraham's The Long Price Quartet and loving it. I learned about this local author right here on DCF. Now fantasy is not usually my preference; I'm more of a hard science fiction guy, but this is tasty and interesting. There are no gnomes or witches. There are innovative concepts, gripping plot lines, a fascinating society, and characters you come to care about.

I recommend you start with "A Shadow in Summer" before… Continue

At 6:08am on July 22, 2009, Debby S said…: Thanks for thinking of that! I saw the special, noted it was availablable on DVD, checked Netflix, put it on order there, and I see it should arrive in my mail box today! I'll see if there are any extras. I first learned of Glass when I won tickets to see Koyaanisqatsi back in the 1980s. I'm a big fan now of him and Godfrey Regio :)

I joined the bird group you wrote about in Burque Birding. I like the idea of "green" birding and then sharing those adventures.

Ahh...the maligned Westside. You can't get the stellar views of the Sandias on the east side, after all. Most of my Albuquerque life has been spend living on the westside. I'm glad we're on the same side of the river.

I appreciate your website. We purchased a fixeruper in corrales in the hopes of retiring to that area to enjoy the birds and the bosque.
