Spring birds in New Mexico

New Mexico's Rio Grande corridor and Chihuahuan Desert support wintering cranes and southwestern specialties. During spring, bird activity is shaped by migration and nesting along the Central Flyway.

Where to look

Explore desert, forest, wetland, urban habitat, including Bosque del Apache NWR.

Observation timing

Early morning is usually most productive. Watch woodland edges, flowering gardens, wetlands, and migration stopovers.
