Comments:
From the field notes database of the New Mexico Ornithological Society, only records with evidence of breeding (nests and/or eggs) included here. Intermittent observations are descriptive and sometimes adults, nests, and/or chicks but numbers not always included. This entry includes numbers, if provided. If nests are found but adults not recorded, entered as aduults were present for that year. Numbers column does not always match the comments so I went by comments for information. Years of observations are 1993, 1996, 2000, 2003, 2010, and 2012.
