Usually, I see maybe one or two Western Tanagers a season, but on May 16, 2010, they were everywhere in Corrales. Here's a few pictures of them, the last also has a Blue Grosbeak in the background.




A pair of Black-crowned Night Herons seem to nest at the Japanese Garden in the Rio Grande Botanic Garden, and they were back again on May 28,2010. The last two pictures show our guy apparently caught in some fishing line around his foot.
