No owls were noted. 29 May By late morning, around 8:00 am, I decided to head toward the Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico. I drove from Rucker Canyon to Hwy 80, to I-10, then E to Alamagado, NM. From there (and this was mid-afternoon) I drove up to Cloudcroft, NM as then made a full circuit around the mountains. Cloudcroft Mayhill Alamagordo Douglas / Ponderosa Fir Pine Songbird timberon Pinion Juniper Pinon The forest on the higher elevs was of almost pure Douglas Fir with some Limbier pine as some Ponderosa pine.
