Moving from New Jersey to New Mexico

#5 Wile E. Coyote’s Favorite Hide Out

You’re sure to run into New Mexico’s state bird, the roadrunner, especially in the warmer months. A novelty to anyone from the east coast, these birds have two long legs and run faster than any other type of bird that flies at speeds up to 26 mph. However, they don’t trump larger flightless birds like the ostrich.

While your childhood years of watching Looney Toons may have misled you into thinking these birds are fast enough to outrun predators, they’d have no chance in a race against a real coyote. Their fast sprint does give them an edge above their prey, which includes almost anything that creeps or crawls on the ground, including rattlesnakes. They can often be seen pecking, or more accurately bashing, their dinner to death before eating it. If you look out your back window long enough, you’re more likely to see a scene that looks like it came out of National Geographic than an episode of the “Road Runner Show.”

#6 Sunny Days All Year Long

The southwestern region of the United States gets more sun than anywhere else in the country. New Mexico ranks just below Arizona, making it the second sunniest state. Since New Jersey ranks lower on this list, it may be a bit of a nice change to see the sun peaking through your window most days of the year.

Despite so much sun, New Mexico still has all four seasons, with cold winters and very hot summers. New Mexico gets its share of snow, especially in the mountain areas, making it fit for winter activities like snowshoeing, skiing, and snowboarding.
