#Albuquerque has an abundance of natural resources in town, way beyond the city park model of other communities. With the Cibola National Forest bordering on the east & the Rio Grande flowing through the city, nature is never far away. Bears & lions do wander into town, particularly during droughts.

Located on the Rio Grande flyway, the Rio Grande Nature Center State Park provides excellent bird watching year around, with 250+ species.

Happy #WorldWetlandsDay to all who celebrate. Wetlands help reduce climate change impacts, they sustain the water we drink, and they support an amazing diversity of wildlife. In short: wetlands rock 🌿

New Mexico—we know there’s a lot going on. That’s why we’re doing a Telephone Town Hall TOMORROW at 6 pm MT.

We’ll cover the federal funding freeze, federal and military workforce issues, immigration rights, and what we’re doing to help. Know your rights! Please tune in!

#nmleg Rep. @sarahsilva.bsky.social introduced HB 153 to update the definition of a journalist to include bloggers and nonprofit news outlets, like @sourcenm.com

It would also protect reporters’ electronic communications from state spying and ultimately the 1st Amendment right to a free press

Also, I have so many photos of the ultra-cool, blue-gray gnatcatchers that it would be a pity not to share more. 😉

Here's a special place in Scotland for all the Australians! This is the mausoleum of Lachlan Macquarie - the Father of Australia who was born on this day in 1762.

It's found right in the middle of the Isle of Mull and rather surprisingly owned by the National Trust of Australia.
