Notes:  Here the “Middle Rio Grande” is defined as being from the spillway of Cochiti Dam, north of Albuquerque, to Elephant Butte Lake, near Truth or Consequences (approximately 200 miles).  A large portion of this area has been cleared of the natural vegetation, to make it easier for farmers and ranchers to access the river.  Habitats, plants, insects (the largest section), vertebrates (amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals).  All color photos throughout.  Well designed.
