I was busy in town today, but took time to stop by a few of the ponds on the west side of Santa Fe. There weren't many birds as the winds are still stubbornly out of the north and most everything that was here has moved on. However, the temperature rose to 70 degrees F today and the winds are slowly coming around from the south so hopes are high for lots of migrants the next few days.
It wasn't a total bust as there was a gorgeous breeding plumage EARED GREBE at the local community college ponds, and a female BELTED KINGFISHER at one of the golf courses.

The two year birds bring the total for 2015 to 167.
