Seen and photographed by many, a Groove-Billed Ani appeared this week in Española. Found year-round in south central Mexico, these birds fly to the Lower Rio Grande Valley near Brownsville in summer. So it is a small walkabout for one to follow the river into New Mexico. Photo by local wildlife photographer, Jonathan Dowell, Ph.D. Follow more of his work on Instagram @SnowyEgretPhotography.
