Part of this area is controlled by irrigation system of canals, culverts and dams. These wet habitats are alternated by dry semi-desert stands. Influencing water levels allows part of the territory to be extensively managed by humans (in cooperation with farmers) and adapted to the needs of wild animals, especially birds, by growing crops that serve as food. Especially corn. However, more than half is absolute wilderness. A large part of the area will turn into a swamp during the year to dry out or even destroy the fires that often break out in a few weeks. This allows a wide range of plants and animals to be present in one place within one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  <div id=\"jig6\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-3a83fab4cf5ad49724b69f0fbfb7eb27 jig-preset-c3 jig-source-nextgen\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript id=\"jig6-html\" class=\"justified-image-grid-html\" data-lazy-src=\"skiplazyload\" data-src=\"skipunveillazyload\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/new-mexico\/8C4A1376Atit.jpg\" title=\"Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon  300\/2,8 L USM + Canon 1,4x convertor,  tripod : yes, flash : no,  Tv :  1\/250s , Av : 5,0 ,  Comp. exp. 0 ,  ISO 1600 ,  1.12.2019, New Mexico, USA.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/new-mexico\/8C4A1376Atit.jpg\" alt=\"Sandhill Crane \/ je\u0159\u00e1b kanadsk\u00fd (Antigone canadensis)\" width=\"1039\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">Sandhill Crane \/ je\u0159\u00e1b kanadsk\u00fd (Antigone canadensis)<br\/>Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon  300\/2,8 L USM + Canon 1,4x convertor,  tripod : yes, flash : no,  Tv :  1\/250s , Av : 5,0 ,  Comp. exp. 0 ,  ISO 1600 ,  1.12.2019, New Mexico, USA.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/noscript><\/div><br>  <div id=\"jig7\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-1d660ee8d53545064f2a8fddb7974cfc jig-preset-c3 jig-source-nextgen\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript id=\"jig7-html\" class=\"justified-image-grid-html\" data-lazy-src=\"skiplazyload\" data-src=\"skipunveillazyload\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/new-mexico\/8C4A6232Atit.jpg\" title=\"Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon  300\/2,8 L USM,  tripod : yes, flash : no,  Tv :  1\/60s , Av : 2,8 ,  Comp. exp. 0 ,  ISO 800 ,  30.11.2019, New Mexico, USA.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/new-mexico\/8C4A6232Atit.jpg\" alt=\"Sandhill Crane \/ je\u0159\u00e1b kanadsk\u00fd (Antigone canadensis)\" width=\"1050\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">Sandhill Crane \/ je\u0159\u00e1b kanadsk\u00fd (Antigone canadensis)<br\/>Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon  300\/2,8 L USM,  tripod : yes, flash : no,  Tv :  1\/60s , Av : 2,8 ,  Comp. exp. 0 ,  ISO 800 ,  30.11.2019, New Mexico, USA.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/noscript><\/div> <br>  <div id=\"jig8\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-c5a6041194807b462d331df170fa5689 jig-preset-c3 jig-source-nextgen\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript id=\"jig8-html\" class=\"justified-image-grid-html\" data-lazy-src=\"skiplazyload\" data-src=\"skipunveillazyload\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/new-mexico\/8C4A6538Atit.jpg\" title=\"Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon  300\/2,8 L USM,  tripod : yes, flash : no,  Tv :  1\/640s , Av : 2,8 ,  Comp. exp. +2\/3 ,  ISO 1250 ,  30.11.2019, New Mexico, USA.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/new-mexico\/8C4A6538Atit.jpg\" alt=\"Sandhill Crane \/ je\u0159\u00e1b kanadsk\u00fd (Antigone canadensis)\" width=\"1042\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">Sandhill Crane \/ je\u0159\u00e1b kanadsk\u00fd (Antigone canadensis)<br\/>Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon  300\/2,8 L USM,  tripod : yes, flash : no,  Tv :  1\/640s , Av : 2,8 ,  Comp. exp. +2\/3 ,  ISO 1250 ,  30.11.2019, New Mexico, USA.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/noscript><\/div> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to eBird server, 374 different bird species have been observed in the national wilderness of the Bosque del Apache since 1981, making it one of the most diverse bird areas in the United States.

In addition to information, promotional materials and souvenirs there is a very beautiful desert botanical mini garden in the neighborhood. Neither of us are familiar with cacti. For us it was beautiful mainly because there were placed two feeders and watering, which attracted a large number of birds. These were mainly small singers, such as the white-crowned bunting (Zonotrichia leucophrys), the red-eyed pipila (Pipila erythrophtalmus), the bullfinch (Haemorhous mexicanus) or the spotted-thrush (Toxostoma curvirostre). The great sensation for us was the narrow-billed cardinal (Cardinalis sinuatus), similar to the parrot, but also the white-collared dove (Zenaida asiatica), the Helmeted Quail (Callipepla gambelii).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><div id=\"jig12\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-97e4a6ec23793e04e3b1db5f9b29acd5 jig-preset-c3 jig-source-nextgen\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript id=\"jig12-html\" class=\"justified-image-grid-html\" data-lazy-src=\"skiplazyload\" data-src=\"skipunveillazyload\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/new-mexico\/8C4A1697Atit.jpg\" title=\"Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon  300\/2,8 L USM + Canon 1,4x convertor,  tripod : yes, flash : no,  Tv :  1\/640s , Av : 4,0  ,  Comp. exp. +1\/3 ,  ISO 400 ,  6.12.2019, New Mexico, USA.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/new-mexico\/8C4A1697Atit.jpg\" alt=\"White-winged Dove \/ hrdli\u010dka b\u011blavok\u0159\u00eddl\u00e1 (Zenaida asiatica)\" width=\"1050\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">White-winged Dove \/ hrdli\u010dka b\u011blavok\u0159\u00eddl\u00e1 (Zenaida asiatica)<br\/>Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon  300\/2,8 L USM + Canon 1,4x convertor,  tripod : yes, flash : no,  Tv :  1\/640s , Av : 4,0  ,  Comp. exp. +1\/3 ,  ISO 400 ,  6.12.2019, New Mexico, USA.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/noscript><\/div> <br><div id=\"jig13\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-b076cfb0a722aaa9da02e16c62e8d557 jig-preset-c3 jig-source-nextgen\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript id=\"jig13-html\" class=\"justified-image-grid-html\" data-lazy-src=\"skiplazyload\" data-src=\"skipunveillazyload\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/new-mexico\/8C4A4400Atit.jpg\" title=\"Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon  300\/2,8 L USM + Canon 1,4x convertor,  tripod : yes, flash : no,  Tv :  1\/320s , Av : 4,0 ,  Comp. exp. 0 ,  ISO 800 ,  2.12.2019, New Mexico, USA.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/new-mexico\/8C4A4400Atit.jpg\" alt=\"Eastern Towhee \/ pipilo rudook\u00fd (Pipilo erythrophtalmus)\" width=\"1186\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">Eastern Towhee \/ pipilo rudook\u00fd (Pipilo erythrophtalmus)<br\/>Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon  300\/2,8 L USM + Canon 1,4x convertor,  tripod : yes, flash : no,  Tv :  1\/320s , Av : 4,0 ,  Comp. exp. 0 ,  ISO 800 ,  2.12.2019, New Mexico, USA.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/noscript><\/div><br><div id=\"jig14\" class=\"justified-image-grid jig-b5ca0a33193ffb8179bd9f502380bd5e jig-preset-c3 jig-source-nextgen\"><div class=\"jig-clearfix\"><\/div><noscript id=\"jig14-html\" class=\"justified-image-grid-html\" data-lazy-src=\"skiplazyload\" data-src=\"skipunveillazyload\"><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/new-mexico\/8C4A5348Atit.jpg\" title=\"Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon  300\/2,8 L USM + Canon 1,4x convertor,  tripod : yes, flash : no,  Tv :  1\/500s , Av : 5,0 ,  Comp. exp. 0 ,  ISO 100 ,  2.12.2019, New Mexico, USA.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoicon.cz\/wp-content\/gallery\/new-mexico\/8C4A5348Atit.jpg\" alt=\"Red-winged Blackbird \/ vlhovec \u010dervenok\u0159\u00eddl\u00fd (Agelaius phoeniceus)\" width=\"1026\" height=\"700\" \/><\/a><p class=\"jig-HTMLdescription\">Red-winged Blackbird \/ vlhovec \u010dervenok\u0159\u00eddl\u00fd (Agelaius phoeniceus)<br\/>Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon  300\/2,8 L USM + Canon 1,4x convertor,  tripod : yes, flash : no,  Tv :  1\/500s , Av : 5,0 ,  Comp. exp. 0 ,  ISO 100 ,  2.12.2019, New Mexico, USA.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/noscript><\/div> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the park itself, there are two about 14 km circuits.
