The Birds of Silver City

I haven't been blogging because there isn't much going on right now. The weather is sunny most days but still on the cool side. I did go to an interesting cemetary one day but my pictures didn't come out - don't know why. I've finished my first month here. At first my back was killing me - that's what I get for sitting around all Winter doing nothing. Because its still the slow season I'm only working two to two and a half hours a day but the owners, Jackie and Jim, don't seem concerned. So far I'm liking doing housekeeping rather than the office. Shorter hours and I do my cleaning and then I'm done - no hanging around an office with nothing to do.

Beth and Sparkle stopped by for one night and we all went to the Wolf Sanctuary together. They're touring all over New Mexico till Sparkle starts her job in South Dakota and Beth goes to Alaska. Wish I could have traveled with them but I have seen most of what they've been seeing now. There is so much to see in New Mexico.

I've put out a bird and a hummingbird feeder - didn't take them long to find them. The hummers are so funny - so little and so agressive. The Oriels have found the hummingbird feeder and I got some good pictures. I've even planted a tomato plant. Have lost five pounds since I've been here - Yipee!!
