Sandia Crest BIRDING FORUM
A place to discuss anything and everything
about
birding the Sandia Mountains
Please share your reports of birding the Sandia Mountains
east of
Albuquerque, New Mexico. During the months of November through March,
there is major interest in the three species of rosy-finches that visit
the feeders at Sandia Crest House. However, there are great birding
opportunities all year around, so let us all know about your
observations. Banding reports, trip reports, photos, links to news and
research
items, and inquiries relevant to these topical areas are also welcomed.
Researchers from around the world who have an interest in rosy-finches
and the entire Genus Leucosticte are encouraged to join in the discussions. All posted
photos remain the property of photographers and cannot be reproduced
without permission. We suggest that photos be watermarked or linked to
a site that indicates owner's copyright.Register (under "Options" select "Subscribe"), to automatically receive all posts to this FORUM. You are not required to post or provide personal information, and you may post anonymously or choose any username. Please use the topical sub-FORUMS as appropriate.
This is the place where those who plan to visit Sandia Crest can ask questions and obtain information to help in planning a birding trip. Since this FORUM is meant to supplement the more general birding listservers such as the New Mexico Rare Bird Alert and the National Birding Hotline Cooperative AZ/NM Birds, be sure to report any unusual sightings directly to those entities, to assure they reach the broadest possible audience. And, do not forget to record all your sightings in eBird, now very easy to use.
