Socorro is well known for its well known bird watching opportunities. We drove through this little town via Magdalena on our way from Albuquerque to Very Large Array. From Socorro it is about a 51 mile drive to VLA an acronym for Very Large Array.
We missed out on this but have mentioned it here you include it on your trip itinerary. Ref pic from San Miguel Mission website.
