Oct. 23 - More gold! The aspen photo is from last week before the hard freezes and winds knocked most of the aspens bare. Now its the time of the cottonwoods, the rivers lined with gold. The road to Taos along the Rio Grande is spectacular. Ducks(Green-winged teal and Mallards) are moving and Great blue herons are in evidence. While searching for otter sign Jim Stuart and I were treated to the long song of a winsome ouzel perched on a rock in the river just a few feet away. Neither of us had ever heard this song, or if we had, we attributed it to another bird. It was amazing to hear. Very long and complex.
