HOOT: PNM'S NEW PROGRAM TO HELP PROTECT NEW MEXICO'S BIRDS
Birds sometimes rest or build nests on or near power poles, which can put them in serious danger of electrocution. If you see a large bird such as a hawk or owl nesting or resting on a power pole, or even in a tree near power lines, or if you find a bird on the ground who may have been injured by a power line, please call 505-246-5700 in Albuquerque or (800) 687-7854 outside of Albuquerque. PNM is working with Hawks Aloft on this program. Thanks!
