Last week, escaping from the cold in Santa Fe I succeeded in getting warm around Socorro, about 3 hrs south. I was surrounded by the sounds of thousands of snow geese and sandhill cranes.
I had occasion to re-find some of my artwork recently (while removing mice nests from the box it was stored in). I had painted this roadkilled Citreoline trogon in Punta Mita, Oaxaca(?) Mexico in 1986(?). Like finding a long lost friend.
