Spring Birds and Flowers Along the Rio Grande. In the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, the Indian paintbrush and other spring flowers, brand-new leaves on the cottonwoods, blooming cliff fendler bushes and the green hedgehog cacti are giving the birds a run for their money, as far as beauty goes.
