Check out the Black-headed grosbeak. I had never seen one before in my yard (about a mile from UNM) but had one around all weekend. The white patches on the black wings were quite striking, which fits your description.

John Fleck replied to Judy's discussion 'Anyone seeing hummers yet?' in the group Burque Birding
Lissa saw our first black-chinned Thursday (4/16). One buzzed my ear Friday morning while I was loading the bike into the car for a ride in the foothills. Where it snowed on us. What's up with that? (We live near Constitution and Carlisle.) Also,...

I'm bad at remembering exactly when birds show up and leave, but there's a great web site used by a lot of bird watchers where they record their own observations, and you can use it to look up questions like this: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ ...

The Junkyard Loop

Tomb of the VW Vans

I'm always changing my mind about what counts as "my favorite bike ride in Albuquerque," but I always return to the Junkyard Loop. Down in Albuquerque's South Valley, it takes you past the city's sewage treatment plant, a bit of infrastructure not t… Continue
