I posted the first county record of Dunlins in Torrance County, NM yesterday, but there was so much more!!
I spent several hours cruising the incredible farmlands of eastern Torrance County and had an amazing day. I've been hammering the ag fields of southern Santa Fe County, but I got spoiled yesterday because it was sooooo birdy!
Here are
