If you can possibly arrange for a car, drive south of Albuquerque for a day
trip to Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. It has marvelous
birding, especially in the fall and winter months. It is on a north-south
flyway for both sandhill and whooping cranes, as well as numerous other
migrants. Great place--try not to miss it.

Good birding,
