New Mexico critters

John has caught a few images of critters in the NM desert. Thought I'd share a few of them with you all..

Learning about the birds that inhabit the area. This Black Neck Stilt was taken near Lake Brantley, north of Carlsbad, NM:



Here is a Painted Redstart. This photo taken at The Grotto at McKittrick Canyon in Guadalupe National Park. This part is just south of Carlsbad, NM in Western Texas.


Have to add in one creepy crawly... we are in the desert you know... A tarantula John saw under he RV!
