High in the mountains of southern New Mexico is a cabin hidden among five acres of Ponderosa Pines, Juniper, and Pinon trees. It is to here that I, my wife, and our two cats retreated from the hurly burly of the city. One of the loudest sounds we can hear is the flapping of wings of the Dark Eyed Juncos, White Breasted Nuthatches, and Mountain Chickadees as they visit the bird feeder. From mid-Spring to early fall, they are joined by hundreds of Hummingbirds at their feeders and in the nearby meadow. Early morning and late afternoon are the times to see the Mule deer as they pass through the yard. Some of the bolder ones occasionally stop to raid the bird feeders, especially in Winter. In the night, with the windows open, you can hear the coyotes, their lonely howls echoing through the canyons and valleys. And not one of these creatures carries or drives a boombox!
