We got to Hidden Valley RV and it was nice to be in the trees again. Our first walk was up old Route 66.
We came across this car on one of our walks
We drove up Highway 14 to Sandia Crest, our first stop was the Sandia peak ski lodge.
We stopped and had a coffee break in the woods and tried to spot the birds we could hear signing.
We drove to the top where there are trails a gift shop small café and many antennas.
Walking the trails at this elevation is somewhat tiring. We did take this trail on a quest to see the Three-toed Woodpecker. Which we did not see.
When we talked to the rangers they recommended stopping at Capulin Springs and we found this great little spot with running water that the birds just loved.
Here are some of the birds that we saw.
Black-headed Grosbeak
Chipping Sparrow
McGillivray’s Warbler, was the favorite. We just saw this bird for the first time at High Island Texas but this was a much better look at one and for a much longer time.
