Wildlife Visitors in New Mexico

My folks in New Mexico first had a dove family nest in one of the vines near their breakfast patio this summer.  Two chicks, plus the parents.

They then had a masked visitor over this past weekend, again peeking out at them while they ate.  My father said the raccoon later hauled itself up into their birdbath for a drink-and-splash.

While we've had both bobcats and foxes at our house this year, there have been no bears.  Lot's of bears at work have helped make up for that, however!
