Paula Cimprich (I know her) and Andy Boyce wrote this “GPS Tracking Technology Allows Scientists to Fly With Curlews on Their Epic Migrations“. It is some exciting research! Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.
My brother and family live on five acres in the Chihuahuan Desert. His place abuts a fifty thousand acres ranch. Just how cool is that! On our last full day, we spend the day at his house exploring. And he took us in his ATV up to the top of a nearby hill as well….
We were heading to visit my family. They live east of El Paso. We had wanted to go in June, but by that time it was already too hot. It is perfect now. Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.
It was a nice 62 degrees this morning. However, yesterday it got down to 58. Really nice! Keep looking! The more you know, the more you see and the more you see, the more you know.

What a nice breeze on this morning’s walk. We saw a bumblebee on nightshade and then I spotted Hemaris diffinis (a moth) further into the woods next to a patch of Coralberry. I was excited to see it sitting still! Coralberry (Symphoricarpos orbiculatus) is a host plant of the Snowberry Clearwing! On first glance when…
