Bluebirds Lifting Spirits Around Los Alamos
Bluebirds visit a backyard garden with a pond Thursday lifting spirits on Barranca Mesa and around Los Alamos. These birds are highly social, usually feeding in flocks during the non-breeding season. They hunt for terrestrial insects by dropping to the ground from a low perch. Bluebirds also frequently feed on berries in trees and rely on trees both for nesting cavities and hunting perches.

Calliope Hummingbird Flits Around Wild Flower Garden
A Calliope Hummingbird flits among wild flowers in a garden spends time Sunday afternoon in White Rock. Weighing about as much as a ping pong ball, this tiny bird is named after Calliope, the muse of eloquence and epic poetry, who inspired Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. Despite their size, these territorial birds may chase birds as large as Red-tailed Hawks during the breeding season. While hovering, Calliope Hummingbirds’ metabolic rates increase to more than 16 times resting level. The oldest recorded Calliope Hummingbird is a female, at least 8 years, 1 month old when recaptured and re-released Read More

A short-horned lizard AKA horny toad is basking in the sun this weekend while laying on a patch of volcanic tuff in the Jemez Mountains and lifting spirits all over Los Alamos. There are over a dozen recognized horned-lizard species distinguishable by the formidable crown of horns adorning their head and the numerous spines across their back. They feed primarily on ants and are known to eat grasshoppers, beetles and spiders. Despite their spiky features, short-horned lizards are preyed upon by a number of creatures, including hawks, roadrunners, snakes, lizards, dogs, wolves and coyotes.Fowl Play Spotted At Sweet Water Feeder In Quemazon
