REVIEW: Check-list of the Birds of New Mexico. – John P. Hubbard. 1970. New Mexico Ornithological Society Publication No. 3. 103 p., 3 maps. $2.50

Abstract

Despite the attraction of its varied and abundant birdlife (476 species), New Mexico is poorly known ornithologically. The standard reference work to the birds of the state, The Birds of New Mexico, by Florence Merriam Bailey (1928) is long out of date, and its “replacement”, New Mexico Birds and Where to Find them by J. S. Ligon (1961) has serious limitations.
