Cow Spotted Grazing At Los Alamos Golf Course
A cow is spotted grazing late Tuesday afternoon at the Los Alamos County Golf Course. A County spokesperson indicated that the cow likely made its way over from Guaje Pines Cemetery where several cows have been known to congregate. The Golf Course is operating on winter hours of Wednesday-Sunday, so was closed Tuesday. The cow has not been sighted today. The County intends to erect temporary fencing at the cemetery to corral the roaming cows, after which they will call the State Livestock Associate to pick them up and transport them to a proper cow pasture.

The transition for fall to winter is a good time to consider what is happening to birds from a variety of viewpoints. The seasonal movement of various bird species is closing. Redwing blackbirds have been appearing in groups of 20 to 50 in trees. They suddenly fly as a group from one tree to another, making a constant raucous. White-winged have been in small groups of about five to eight birds that walk quietly about on the ground. Broad-tailed hummingbirds flew away when autumn started Read More

Zero Waste Committee: Feast! But Don’t Waste
ZERO WASTE News:
Holidays are the time for sharing our bounty with family and friends. Unfortunately, all that generosity can lead to waste.
Over Thanksgiving last year, Americans wasted about 204 million pounds of turkey alone, and it’s estimated that we will toss over 5 million tons of food between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.
Food waste is a year-round problem: In the U.S., we waste roughly 40 percent of the food we produce, enough to feed 2 billion people every year. When we throw away food, resources are squandered: food waste consumes 25 percent of our freshwater, 18 percent of our Read More
