Our Precious Water |
Isn’t it glorious to live close by a beautiful river? If you grew up here and lived here all your life, it may not be so special to you, but for somebody like me, who lived in big cities for most of her life, the river was a blessing and a friend. I love everything about it, the different sounds it makes, the various shades of blue and brown and grey, all the different critters one meets when one sits close by for a while and silently watches. I never knew there were so many different kinds of ducks! Buffleheads, mergansers, various teals, mallards, shovelers – they often came by, with cute babies in tow.

A sage poem |
For the rain keeping things cool
If there’s one thing that defines being New Mexican in the United States, it might well be this: We know we are special, while at the same time we feel indescribably inferior to other places. Maybe it’s because we’re not widely known as superlatively anything, or big-league in any way but the nuclear ones. Read more

Wi-Fi Cameras |
I hesitate to call this an article about security cameras because we use our cameras more to watch the wildlife around our house. We have a camera devoted to what’s under our porch, for instance. Generally, we have a couple of cats under there, but often there are raccoons too. Sometimes a squirrel, mouse, bird, and once, a dog. Read More

Extending Your Wi-Fi |
Over the years I’ve worked on quite a few people’s WiFi. For all that time, the solution was most often to either get a device to go through the house electrical wiring, or to broadcast a signal with Extender devices, and sometimes both. I used this stuff at my own home, and it works okay. Read More
Creating Community Across Borders and Beliefs |
Maybe you remember that I wrote an article about the Mosque near Plaza Blanca, built by the famous Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy. Fatima van Hattum who had kindly guided me around the compound of the Dar Al Islam educational center, which was built around the mosque, had mentioned that the board and the organization’s governance was going through some major changes. The plan was to have greater community involvement, to offer a space for Muslims and Non-Muslims, to re-vitalize the whole area, in fact. Read More

Public Outcry Over Proposed Aerial Pesticide Use in Rio Chama Watershed
NM WIld
Click To Read |
A proposal to aerially apply pesticides to kill native grasshoppers on federal public lands in the Rio Chama Watershed has sparked significant public outcry for the second year in a row. In January, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced this year’s proposal, which is aimed at increasing forage for cattle. The public response to this project was overwhelmingly negative, with over 1,640 individuals voicing opposition during the public comment period. Read more
Final Indios Fire Update
FINAL UPDATE Indios Fire
JUNE 17, 2024 BY SFNFPAO 0 COMMENTS
Acres: 11,500
Start Date: May 19, 2024
Location: 7 miles north of the village of Coyote, NM
Personnel: 97
Completion: 90%
Fuels: Timber
Highlights: This will be the final update for the Indios Fire unless something significant occurs. The Type 3 Northern New Mexico Incident Management Team will turn command of the fire to the Santa Fe National Forest Coyote Ranger District on Tuesday, June 18. The Kaniksu Wildland Fire Module from North Idaho was ordered and has arrived to complete suppression repair work and assist the district.
The Santa Fe National Forest emergency area closure No. 03-10-01-24-04 has been lifted, effective Monday, June 17, 2024. Continental Divide Trail hikers should move through the burn area quickly, preferably during the morning hours. Avoid hiking this section during thunderstorms; rain could cause flooding and high gusty winds can knock over trees. Avoid camping in the burn area, including unburned pockets of trees. Due to ash flows after rains, Ojitos Creek is not a reliable source of water and may be unusable.
The Santa Fe National Forest will continue to provide information on the fire as needed.
Operations: While most suppression repair work is complete, there is still some left. Heavy equipment will continue working on road repairs and spreading gravel, as well as finishing repair on some dozer lines. Most handline rehabilitation should be completed today, and the dozer will finish work on Forest Road 170.
Weather: Warm temperatures and dry conditions will persist Monday and Tuesday, with strong breezes expected each day and plummeting humidity. On Tuesday, temperatures will be slightly cooler with slightly reduced winds. An increase in moisture is expected to bring chances for showers, thunderstorms, and cooler temperatures later in the week.

Caching with Cody
Black-billed Magpie Ambassador Cody has been working on a behavior that highlights corvids' tendency to cache items, or hide them away for later use. Magpies and other animals in the wild might do this with a large piece of food if they can't finish the whole thing in one meal, or with large quantities of a preferred food item. Some animals cache so many seeds that they can't possibly recover all of them, so the seeds stay where they were hidden and grow into new plants!
In order to showcase this behavior, Cody’s trainers shaped it into a routine that also reminds people of something they can do to protect the environment: recycling! With a lot of positive reinforcement, Cody has learned to pick up recyclable items around a room and deposit them into her blue recycling bin. When she successfully recycles an item, she receives a piece of food in return!
Caching is an important behavior for a lot of animals, including Black-billed Magpies, so it didn't take long for Cody to learn to cache these recyclable objects in her blue bin in exchange for a tidbit of food. As an added bonus, the items she's caching have been repurposed for this behavior rather than being thrown away. Seeing Cody learn to recycle so quickly gives us hope that humans can also learn this important behavior!

Casa Urraca Press has created a place for locals in our area to recommend books to each other, and a place to find book suggestions with a personal touch.
This week, Les recommends Bea Wolf, by Zach Weinersmith and illustrated by Boulet: "I'm really into reading graphic novels from the library. This one was pure delight. Probably even better if you remember Beowulf, but not needed to get into this story of neighborhood children whose sanctuary of fun is threatened by the nefarious new neighbor named Grindle. They need a hero to protect themselves from turning into adults. Bet you can guess who they call."

Have a book to recommend? Send it to Zach at casaurracaltd@gmail.com – title, author, and the reason you suggest it.
The full Locals’ Picks list is available to view here on Bookshop.
A purchase from Casa Urraca's link helps support independent bookstores.
Abiquiu’s Casa Urraca Press earns a commission from every shopping trip that starts with the above Bookshop link—you can shop the entire Bookshop site in addition to the locals' picks. Plus, a percentage of every book (at least 10%) goes straight to independent bookstores. This is an opportunity to support small businesses with the same convenience as large online retailers.
