- It takes lots of talent to ken,
A rosy finch male from the hen,
You lift up a feather,
To determine whether,
It squats when its pees now and then.

and panoramic views were great. Reminded me of our scouting days. I
impress my golfing buddy on the course when I point out different
birds. It actually impresses me that I remember them from those olden
days.
See you in a week and a half

- Dad,
This is a great site. Extremely beneficial birding information for
the Manzano Mountains and Cedar Crest area. All birders should stop
here before going out to locate birds. Great job!
From your loving son in Canyon Texas,

- The
pictures are wonderful. Have not even downloaded mine as yet, but have
printed 4 of yours. And your home page is marvelous. Have looked at the
views and the birds and will
get to the rest after we return from next weeks trip to
Phoenix. Do wish I had your computer talent. With only a
year on the internet, I am in awe of people like the two
of you who can do such marvelous things. The reunion was a
memorable event and it was great seeing you. (Have no idea what to do
now, but will click on -Sign Guest Book - and see what occurs) Fondly,
Maureen

It was a pleasure to meet you this morning while looking for early
Rosy-Finches.
Thanks for providing so much useful information on your web site!
These pages have been of great help in birding our way around the
Sandia and Manzano Mountains.

- Hi
Ken, thanks for your service with the feeders. I would appreciate if
you would give the feeder locations at the top of your website. By
reading through your info I found out there are three feeders and one
can be seen from the dining room, but where are the others? Hopefully
they are obvious when I get there, but I've been to the Crest House in
the winter (2 years ago), and didn't know about the feeders, and didn't
see them at that time. I'm looking for my lifer Black Rosy-Finch.
Thanks, Aziza Cooper

Since your site was moved, the text does not print fill width. The
Right hand inch or so is clipped.
We have valued your outstanding site and hope to view all the rosy
finches at the Crest again, this week. We were disappointed to read in
the listing that our birding acquintances, M&M Walsh, again failed
to find tehe finches after twoo long days of patient waiting.
Thanks for you many efforts. We will be bringing seed soon when
sightings become more reliable.

- Ken,
Jean Martin and I (from Austin, TX) had only an hour and a half to
hike in the Tres Pistoles wilderness area on 2/9/04, doing some birding
there. What an absolutely magical place!!! I was stunned by the beauty
of this wilderness area. The soft desert colors and many native plants,
the many huge boulder formations (which must have fallen off of the
mountains hundreds or thousands of years ago and been weathered into
rounded shapes by wind and rain), combined with the backdrop of
mountains, was just awe-inspiring. How I wish I lived closer so that I
could hike here often. I am so thankful that this wonderful display of
the best desert nature has to offer has been preserved for all to
enjoy, and that it was not turned into a luxury housing development as
had been planned. It's heartening to know that sometimes we humans do
the right thing where nature is concerned.

I finally got around to checking out your web-page. While I'm not
really a "Birder", I admire your enthusiasm and knowledge on the rosy
finches, and I think I speak for all of us at the Crest House by saying
thaks for bringing in the folks from all over!
Sincerely,

for the Big Bend trip overview. I've been there only once, on a field
trip with a Biology class from UNM many, many moons ago. It was an
awesome place. Your info will help me plan my next trip there, sometime
this century, I hope. Pat Franklin

husband found this sight by accident and told me to come look at it. I
too live in the East Mnts. and am a bird enthusiast. I didn't realize
the Rosy Finch frenzy was right here! I had one hanging out at our
feeders a couple of winters ago,it was a beautiful bird. I will drive
up to the crest and see if I have any luck finding the litte guys!
Thanks for all this information! Sheila

- Being
a "cradle birder" in Arlington, Texas (my mother and aunts are big
birders), I use your site a lot to learn more about birds that live
around my new home near South Mountain in Santa Fe County (Edgewood).
Your site is great! I learned about the log at Capulin Spring from your
site... I would never have thought to explore there otherwise!

- Hi,
This may be a suprise comment! I live with the daughter of Havard's
Barry Wood. A name frequently mentioned along side of your (Uncle?)
Albie. Since I met Margo (Wood), I have been fascinated by his football
career.You can't have that fascination, without knowing who Albie Booth
was.Over the past few year I have aquired quite of memorobilia ( mostly
from EBAY. This include 2 original sketch by Boston Globe Sports artist
Gene Mack. The first, before the (imfamous/famous game, depending where
your loyalties were), the second, a week later, after the game
featuring Albie kicking the ball. If anyone in the family is
interested, I can send a digital picture and the make a copy.
