As I have written before on this site, I consider even a bad day birding to still be a great walk in the woods. And this Monday was not a spectacular birding day. I had stayed up too late on Sunday night doing church accounting, so I got a late start on Monday morning. (The fact that Mexico recently abandoned daylight saving time has made this problem more serious.) It was drizzling off and on all morning, and never sunny, so the birds weren’t active at all. That drizzle, and one bout of rain, made great photography both unlikely, as well as somewhat risky.

Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.
