Cloudcroft Trestle by Janet Perkins
Our local Auduboners will be birding in Cloudcroft, NM tomorrow. Of course, anyone interested can go. It may be a great way to beat our triple digit heat here in El Paso. Daytime temperatures in this paradise with an elevation of 8,668' on Saturday are predicted to range from 56° to 77°. In El Paso tomorrow, expect a high of 102°.
Male Western Tanager
Just the other day, Janet Perkins spotted a beautiful male Western Tanager!
A great place to eat just before coming home (and who should be in a hurry) is Rebecca's at the Lodge. Great food. Beautiful views. White table cloths. First class. The Lodge is located at 601 Corona Place. Or take a diversion to Casa de Suenos, 35 St Francis Drive, just a few miles north of Alamogordo in Tularosa. It is the best New Mexican eatery in the county.

Trip from El Paso can be done in carpools.
