Beautiful photos!! I've gone to Big Bend in April four times in the past 5 years (and have reservations to go back in April '07), as it is a goldmine for birdwatchers during the spring and summer. I like to hike up Pinnacles Trail, and spend the day birding in Boot Springs. I'm still very much a plant newbie, but I can ID newly emerging growth of Red Mountain Sage along the trail. I grow this in my yard, the hummers love it.

If you want to see The Window from the other side of the cliff, drive to Sam Nail Ranch and pull off on the unmarked dirt road across from that parking lot. You'll drive over a very rough road for about 1/2 a mile and park, and then hike a bit over a mile to Cattail Falls.

Thanks for sharing your photos. They bring back LOTS of wonderful memories.
