Abstract
The Sandia Mountains of north-central New Mexico are a relatively small mountain range but contain an extensive ecological range. Eight vegetative communities, occurring from 6350 to 10,600 feet, are recognized in the Sandias. A total of 154 species of birds, 92 of which were considered to be breeding, was recorded for the Sandia Mountains. The number of species breeding in each plant community and the number of breeding pairs per 100 acres in each plant community were also recorded. The beginning and cessation of song for oscine birds, location of nests, and other nesting information were noted.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
