Melrose Woods Migrant Trap

Steve Collins is responsible for pointing out this eastern New Mexico gem to me. I have now visited the site 3 times this month. This particular trap is famous for bringing in eastern migrants as well as the western migrants that many Texans rarely see. Melrose Trap has also played host to some very unusual Mexican wanderers. I look forward to posting more photos from this Trap in the spring.

Lubbock Geese and Spring Chickens

With many of the geese leaving Lubbock, I thought that I would post some of the pictures that I took of them this winter. Also, this spring I will hopefully be working with the Lesser-Prairie Chicken research again. It is a lot of fun being able to get so close to this sharply declining bird. Hopefully I can get some awesome chicken pics this year and get them published.
