Thanks to the several of you who responded to my request for help with an inquiry about finding rosy finches in the Sandias earlier this week. Special thanks to Mark Aspelin, who pointed the inquirer to his blog providing step-by-step instructions.

Our website is not just a tool for communicating with FOSM members. The Recreation page and its subpages get hits from all over the world. For example, 559 Google searches were directed to our website with 128 landing on our hiking webpage (and 119 landing on a separate La Luz Trail webpage created with the help of Jamey Browning) during April.

What little I know about birding wouldn’t fill a hummingbird’s nest. I found the recent communications interesting and with Mark’s help added a webpage providing information to birders who happen upon our site. Please spread the word to any bird watchers you know.
