New Mexico Birds

A bird-finding Mecca, New Mexico has had over 550 bird species seen within its borders, including state bird Greater Roadrunner. Other stand-outs include Clark’s Nutcracker, Bald Eagle, Mountain Bluebird, Phainopepla, and many species of hummingbirds. Perhaps the most impressive avian phenomenon is the winter congregations of tens of thousands of Sandhill Cranes and Snow Geese at Bosque del Apache. For many people, birds represent a major aspect of a landscape’s character, so it helps to get acquainted with the most representative species first to establish a solid foundation of knowledge. You can do this with the portable reference New Mexico Birds, which includes beautiful illustrations of 140 common and familiar birds as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 bird-finding hotspots and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a great tool for educators, learners, naturalists, and birders to use to sharpen their bird identification skills and connect more meaningfully with New Mexico’s many unique ecosystems through their attendant birds. Made in the USA.
