New Mexico Birds

NOTE:  This Photo Gallery is under construction and is being created on an opportunistic basis.  If you have a photo of a missing New Mexico species that you would like to share with the photo gallery, please provide it to Janet Ruth.  File size for a photo to be used on the website should be less than 300 X 300 pixels.  Thanks to Jerry Oldenettel for permission to link to photos on his Flickr site (and others as noted on separate pages) as well as Arizona Field Ornithologists (AZFO) for permission to link to photos on their site.  Many but not all of these photos were taken in New Mexico.


NOTE: We are having some technical problems on some of these pages with photo links "migrating" - the correct link being above or below by one link. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to solve it soon.
