I saw lots of wildlife on today's walks. Cottontail rabbits and a number of White-tailed deer along with many birds. This pic shows why they are called white-tailed deer!
As you can see, that white tail is great for alerting about others danger. Those 3 were does but later I spotted this buck.
The history of this park contains a mix of Indian living with rock rings where they once camped and built fires. I was difficult for me distinguish the rock rings from all the other rock formations but I am sure the trained eye could. What was easier to see were the remnants of the historic rail line that once ran thru here.
I don't know why the rail line was abandoned but 10 years does not seem like much of a return on their investment! During my walk, I did get to see Seminole Canyon.
If you can picture this full of water then you know what the Pecos River looks like just a mile from here.I am staying here one more day as there is a tour of some river caves with petroglyphs, that I want to take, tomorrow at 10 AM. I almost forgot about the birds! Here is a pic of a Pyrrhuloxia which I mentioned in yesterdays blog.
