..hummingbirds that migrate to New Mexico. Been researching, and on the look out for them, readying my feeders. Am excited to learn more, locate them and draw, paint them-- start a NM journal -- am excited to do two ok 3 things that I love ..birding and painting, sketching [using various mediums..pastels, acrylics, pencils.] and travelling my beautiful state in search of some 17 species that have been documented-- starting in my back yard, nearby bosque that lines the Rio Grande.

Black-chinned hummingbirds and Broad-tailed hummingbirds are early spring migrants to New Mexico, arriving in early March and departing in late November. Rufous hummingbirds are fall migrants, arriving in mid-June and departing in mid-November.May

There are over 20 species in North America, and New Mexico is among the nation's hot spots for hummingbird viewing with 17 species documented. Half of those are commonly seen, while the others are considered rare. The four most common are the black-chinned, broad-tailed, calliope and rufous.
