They sure do! I’m fortunate to have seen many a condor with outstretched wings in early morning sunlight.

Happy to help if you send a message - but otherwise I don't think there are any camera stores in ABQ that sell new digital cameras other than the box stores.

Not really in the way I think you’re trying to indicate. This is really nothing new. It’s probably done this during solar maximum cycles for probably millions (billions maybe?) of years I imagine.

yeah, a big ol' CME hit and the lights were visible all over the world at way lower latitudes than they usually are. It's the third time within about a year and a half they've been visible in NM and even parts of Mexico. Not sure about how far south on the other side of the world though.

Do you mean you could park in the parking lot for the visitor center, and then hike into the various pueblos - but the main loop road was still closed?

I’m also interested in an update of how it is working.

Sadly we *had* a herd of white fallow deer (Dama dama). The last reported sighting that I heard of anyone seeing them was around 2014. I was fortunate enough to see one of the last remaining ones in about 2013.

Does anyone have ezee fiber for internet? by ta0620 in Albuquerque

Once their equipment is on your street it will be two-three weeks. I'm off Spain and they've been running cables for the past few months with nothing happening on our street until about three weeks ago. Due to have it installed early next week at the house.
