Black-throated sparrow at Hueco Tanks State Park in El Paso.

Say’s phoebe at Balmorhea State Park.

Saw single pyrrhuloxia at both Hueco Tanks and Balmorhea.

Canyon towhee at the Caverns of Sonora RV Park. Still surprised at all the canyon towhee’s and Say’s phoebe’s I have seen this year.

The rv park has some helmeted guineafowl with a female turkey as their leader. They go wherever the turkey goes. In the bottom picture, the turkey has jumped up onto a fence, and the guineafowl aren’t sure what to do.

This past week I have been staying at Kiva RV Park & Horse Hotel in Bernardo, New Mexico. The owners have a lot of rescued animals. Pictures of some of them are below.

Three-legged ram(?) He is in with several females, so he hops around and seems happy.
