I spent a few days in New Mexico en route from Arizona to Texas. My overriding memory of the State is one of space and large tracts of wilderness. I’d like to go back for a better look around.

Carlsbad Caverns, September 1998 – Mexican Free-tailed Bats and a probable White-footed Deer Mouse. Saw a couple of Ringtails while spotlighting outside the park together with a Skunk (cannot remember whether it was a Hooded or Striped Skunk).

White Sands National Monument, September 1998 – Kit Fox (lucked out with this one, which we caught in the headlights at dusk out in the middle of the dunes, right as the ranger was rounding us up to leave the park at closing time).
