As used here, "common" is a relative term. You may not see one of these birds in months of looking, but they're expected to be in New Mexico at least part of the year. For birds that aren't supposed to be here but are anyway, check out this page.
Some of these birds have small amounts of colors such as yellow, but you may not notice those colors in the brief moments you observe them.
