Birds of NM
I have only been photographing birds since October 2009, so the number of species is limited.
I've used a few photos taken in Arizona of species also commonly found in NM simply because those are nicer photographs.

Click on the gallery you wish to view.

Two special galleries, Bosque del Apache and Yard Birds contain photos only from those specific locations.
All other galleries are organized in taxonomic order on this index page by bird families.

Note this page presents only the most popular bird photos.
To see the complete collection including Texas & Arizona photos, visit the photo database.
