Williams III, Editor William H. Howe, Assistant Editor EDITORIAL OFFICE Southwest Natural History Institute 1819 Meadowview Drive NW Albuquerque, New Mexico 87104-2511 ([email protected]) Reporting Observations: All individuals interested in birds in New Mexico are encouraged to submit their observations to NMOS Field Notes. Especially solicited are records of uncommon species, nesting birds, and early, late, or out-of-season/range birds. Records should be submitted in taxonomic order and should include species name, date, exact location, numbers of birds, age, sex, and color morph (if applicable), and name and contact information of observer. Details are necessary for unusual records; these may be submitted on a report form (available from the address above), but any written format is acceptable. Photographic documentation is strongly encouraged. NEW MEXICO ORNITHOLOGICAL SOCIETY (Founded 1962) The New Mexico Ornithological Society was organized to gather and disseminate accurate information concerning the bird life of New Mexico; to promote interest in and appreciation of the value of birds, both aesthetic and economic, to further effective conservation of the state’s avifauna; to facilitate opportunity for acquaintance and fellowship among those interested in birds and nature; and to issue publications as a means of furthering these ends. Membership and Subscriptions: Membership in the New Mexico Ornithological Society is open to anyone with an interest in birds.

  • Socioeconomic Assessment of the Cibola National Forest Executive Summary
    Executive Summary This report provides a socioeconomic assessment of the relationships between the four mountain Ranger Districts (RDs) of the Cibola National Forest (Cibola NF), the 10 counties with boundaries within the Cibola NF, and neighboring communities. This includes Indian Reservations, Pueblo lands and Land Grant communities. This assessment was commissioned by the Southwestern Regional Office of the USDA Forest Service (USDA FS or FS), and serves as a source of information for the development of a revised plan for Cibola NF. The assessment is based primarily on secondary data sources, including those of the United States Census Bureau, the Bureau of Land Management, the Geological Survey, the Federal Highway Administration, Bureau of Economic Analysis, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics as well as the New Mexico Department of Transportation, the NM Department of Labor, NM Department of Game and Fish, and those plans and other documents produced by county governments. The most important source of data was National Forest Service (FS) records including the Forest Service infrastructure (INFRA) database and their GIS databases. In some cases, specific information was not available in a form appropriate to this analysis, requiring BBER to make estimates, using the best available data. In other cases, data were not available at all and this fact limited the analysis possible. Information sources and analysis methods are thoroughly documented throughout the report. The Cibola NF consists of scattered “islands” of mountainous terrain that are under FS management. Cibola NF spans 10 New Mexico counties which are widely divergent in their socioeconomic characteristics. The assessment area, which includes Native American and Land Grant communities as well as Albuquerque and rapidly-growing Rio Rancho, is a study in contrasts.

To provide a base that will help ensure management decision-making, management direction, and management activities that will maintain a full range of visual experiences as the visual management system is utilized in land management planning and project planning. 2. To establish specific criteria for determining variety classes within each character type. 3. To provide a written description and representative photographic examples of each character type. 4. To establish specific criteria for determining sensitivity levels. 1 VARIETY CLASSES The National Forest Visual Management System requires a frame of reference and criteria for the identification and classification of scenic quality (variety class).
