A Roadrunner by Zimmerman Library



A roadrunner was hanging out on the west side of Zimmerman Library this afternoon. A juvenile roadrunner came up behind the adult and acted like it was begging for food. Then it laid down on the stone walk behind the adult. It might have been making itself invisable so il paparazzo couldn’t see it. The adult roadrunner rolled a prickly pear fruit near the juvenile, but the juvenile just stayed in the same position.



The adult walked over to the juvenile, nudged it with its foot, and then walked off and disappeared behind a bush. The juvenile stayed in the same position.




Sunset

Dancing days are done
Done in by social distance
Distance determined, solo spaces
Spaces empty, filled, masked faces
Faces covered vanquished smiles
Smiles once lifted miens
Miens covered informed eyes
Eyes sad, lonely, longing
Longing for closeness, movement
Movement together, shuffled feet
Feet stepping to the beat
Beat goes on determined song
Song inspires dance
Dance today is deadly
Deadly dancing
Dancing days are done

Under crystal clear, blue skies I made a very interesting discovery.

Fuzzy has a big sister, Fuzzette, who Nora Owl finally allowed to come out into the world so we can admire her beauty and cuteness.

The New Mexico Game & Fish Department stocked the clearwater ditch this morning. The game warden had to do a 25 yard dash from his truck with a net full of 14 month old Rainbow Trout to the bridge where he released the fish into the clearwater ditch. With the beaver dam on the other side of the bridge, the water is three to four feet deep, so after the initial shock of their high dive into the water, the fish quickly recovered and swam off in various directions. The warden said the trout came from the Lisboa Springs Fish Hatchery north of Pecos, New Mexico.
