Where to see a Bonaparte's Gull in New Mexico

The Bonaparte's Gull is regularly recorded in the counties of 12 New Mexico state parks (eBird historical checklists). The strongest bets:

  1. Ute Lake State Park
  2. Santa Rosa Lake State Park
  3. Sumner Lake State Park
  4. Villanueva State Park
  5. Conchas Lake State Park
  6. Storrie Lake State Park
  7. Caballo Lake State Park
  8. Percha Dam State Park
  9. Elephant Butte Lake State Park
  10. Pancho Villa State Park
  11. Spring Canyon State Park
  12. Oliver Lee Memorial State Park

These are county-level records โ€” the species is documented in the area around each park, which is a strong steer rather than a guarantee for the park itself.
