Weekly WeatherIn GratitudeWe thank our friends at New Mexico Wildlife Center for renewing their sponsorship.
New Mexico Wildlife CenterNew Mexico Wildlife Center is a nonprofit wildlife rehabilitation and education center located on the south side of Española, NM. The Center's mission is to connect people and wildlife through conservation, education and rehabilitation, because a world with wildlife is a better world. Our nature center and DePonte Family Wildlife Walk are open to the public Tuesday through Sunday, 9am-4pm, and our on-site wildlife hospital accepts intakes of injured, sick, and orphaned wildlife 7 days a week.
NMWC's wildlife hospital is staffed by a full-time veterinarian and a team of professional Certified Wildlife Rehabilitators whose priority is providing top-quality care to 800-1000 injured, ill, and orphaned wild animals annually so that they may be returned to the wild. We treat all native wildlife that can be rehabilitated in New Mexico, from the tiniest nestling hummingbird all the way up to bobcats and Golden Eagles. Our hospital facility is equipped with a full surgery suite, a digital x-ray machine, on-site diagnostic testing, and outdoor pre-release enclosures that prepare our patients for their return to the wild. NMWC is also home to over 20 non-releasable Ambassador Animals whose role is to educate the public about their species and about conservation of New Mexico's native wildlife. Visitors can see our Ambassador Animals during self-guided tours Tuesdays through Sundays from 9am-4pm and during daily Animal Encounter programs on those same days at 11:30am. Our team also offers wildlife education programs throughout northern New Mexico. NMWC’s educational programming highlights wild animals’ natural histories, New Mexican ecosystems, and the importance of protecting and conserving our native wildlife and their habitats. New Mexico Wildlife Center is located at 19 Wheat Street, Española, NM 87532. You can find us online at www.newmexicowildlifecenter.org and on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

The Wildflower Lady |
For about eight years now, the Abiquiú News has provided us with the Bloom Blog. From April through October, Marilyn Phillips helps us to identify the many wildflowers growing around Abiquiú and informs us of the various uses Native Americans have for these plants: as remedies for ailments and diseases, as dyes, as skin lotions, and as food.

Beavers Can Make New Mexico a More Lush, Resilient, Hospitable, and Productive Place for People and Wildlife
|
At the beginning of 2024, I helped launch the New Mexico Beaver Project with Chris Smith, the Wildlife Program Director at WildEarth Guardians. The NMBP is working on policy and resources to help restore beavers in New Mexico waterways to save water, recharge aquifers, mitigate flooding and drought, reduce wildfire damage, create aquatic and wetland habitat, and provide more clean, cool water to all life that relies on it - including us.

Notes from Nagle |
Markets are in transition. Which is to say we are still in a Bull Market for stocks but in a seasonal transitionary period for the next 2-3 months. August - October tend to see the worst market performance of the year. Then the latter part of the year, late October through the end of the year, tend toward positive performance. It doesn’t have to happen this way but it’s statistically likely. How much in each direction is the variable no one can predict. Especially this year with an election coming up. Read More

Fritillaries , The Other Bittersweet Orange Butterfly
|
I love butterflies and have always grown perennials that are good pollinators because they attract bees and butterflies as well as providing nectar for my hummingbirds. I also have milkweed plants growing in every open area on my property, and up until recently, used to raise a monarch or two from caterpillar to chrysalis to adulthood. Now that these butterflies are scarce, I no longer do. This year I note that I am seeing fewer butterflies in general, much to my dismay. A couple of exceptions are swallowtails and fritillaries.

A Hobbit Hut Near Abiquiú! |
When Janice and Michael Quinn bought their property in Rio Chama near Medanales, they were quite intrigued by the strange and decidedly unique structure which was part of it: a small building without any straight lines. It looked like something that had grown out of the earth, with undulating curves, bulbous outcrops, round and colorful windows.

For the Birds and other Wildlife
Great Horned Owls’ range encompasses most of North America and parts of Central and South America. They may look slightly different depending on where you see them: owls in Canada are often very large and pale in color, in the Midwest US their feathers have rich brownish-red tones, and in our area they are usually smaller (though still quite imposing!) and have grey and tan feathers. Their bodies have adapted to a variety of climates, and they are very successful predators wherever they go.
Great Horned Owls primarily catch small mammals like rabbits and rats, but they will eat just about anything they can get their talons into, including large aquatic birds, skunks, and even other owls! Even though the largest Great Horned Owls only weigh about 5 pounds, they are capable of lifting 2-3 times their body weight, and their strong feet can grip with 200-500 pounds of pressure per square inch.
It takes a long time for young Great Horned Owls to develop the strength and finesse to hunt for themselves, though, and these birds have an unusually long period of parental care. They are often the earliest birds to nest - eggs are laid in winter and usually hatch in February or March - but juvenile owls rely on their parents’ support until September or October, by which point their parents are almost ready to start preparing to breed again!
Great Horned Owls often mate for life and may return to the same nest site several years in a row. Like other owls, this species does not build their own nests; they instead take over other birds’ vacant nests - American Crow and Red-tailed Hawk nests are popular choices - or lay eggs in tree snags or cliffs.
Although Great Horned Owls face few natural dangers, they often encounter human-made hazards like barbed wire, rodenticide, vehicle strikes, and fishing line. You can help protect these owls and countless other wild animals by keeping their habitats free of these dangers!

Zach Hively
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, Lynne recommends The Slow Regard of Silent Things, by Patrick Rothfuss: "This little book is one of the most beautifully written stories I've ever read. Just read the title out loud. See how lovely it sounds? That's how the whole book feels. It's a little glimpse into the fantasy world of Rothfuss's other books, but you don't need to read those to enjoy this one."
|
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.

Is it La Plaza Blanca or The White Place?
Polvadera Peak or La Polvadera?
Where is La Loma de Mana Dela?
This presentation will report on an ongoing research project focused on documenting and mapping out the place naming traditions of Spanish-English bilingual Manito communities living in northern Nuevo México and southern Colorado, primarily along the Sierra de la Sangre de Cristo. Manito toponymies are variously erased, obscured and delegitimized in the topographic cartography developed by the United States Geological Survey. Since 2015, data collection has involved over 3500 miles of cycling and over 500 miles of hiking to learn the landscape and travel to various field sites, and interviews with over 70 community knowledge bearers from La Cuesta (Villanueva), NM north to El Alto del Cañón (Gardner), CO. Inside a study area covered by 66 1:24,000 topographic sheets, this study was able to document vernacular antecedents for 49.5% of the official names for natural features, and map out a further 280 previously unmapped names, representing a 25.5% growth in the available record. I systematically compare this collection of names in oral tradition to the state sanctioned inventory of place names to determine by what (linguistic) strategies the USGS achieved the toponymic silencing of Nuevomexicanos in the official cartographic record. While a majority of the official toponymy is based on names in Manito oral tradition, only 15.4% of the labels for natural features represent unaltered versions of the names in that tradition. I show how the topographic maps produced by the USGS present a conceptually impoverished understanding of the landscape, and project significant is conceptions of Manito geographic knowledge and ways of speaking.

Over the past week we have been selected as a hang-out for a group of fine looking dogs. Our house is up at the end of CR158 and I can't figure out where these guys came from. They appear to be well cared for and are very friendly. The go traveling often but keep coming back to mooch on the cat food I have been putting out for the neighborhood ravens. Are these your dogs or would you like to adopt one? Otherwise I'll need to take them to the shelter.

This sweet 7 yr young female lab mix can no longer be cared for by Abiquiu Lake non-resident owner. She is spayed, up to date on all shots, and very playful. Friendly with other dogs. Eager to please a new owner and family.
