New Mexico - Rare Arctic and Desert Species

New Mexico is a large state blessed with a varied landscape of arid deserts, lush forests, soaring mountain ranges and rolling plains. Thus it offers a fantastic sunny winter birding with a wide range of different habitats and species. Imagine looking for tens of thousands of Ross’s and Snow Geese, Sandhill Cranes and Verdin, Phainopepla and Pyrrhuloxia at the same time! We visit the best parts of New Mexico from the wild and rich Rio Grande Valley through deserts, scrubs and cottonwoods. Add the extensive mountain pinewoods plus unbelievable spectacle of wetland areas such as the world famous Bosque del Apache and you have a really enjoyable “cocktail of winter birding” in the US.
