Culex quinquefasciatus  Say (Diptera: Culicidae) and  Aedes vexans  Meigen are two of the most abundant mosquitoes in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, USA. In this study, a polymerase chain reaction based methodology was used to identify the sources of blood meals taken by these two species.  Ae. vexans  was found to take a large proportion of its meals from mammals. Although less specific in terms of its blood meal preferences,  Cx. quinquefasciatus  was found to feed more commonly on birds. The results for  Ae. vexans  are similar to those reported for this species in other parts of their geographic range.  Cx. quinquefasciatus  appears to be more variable in terms of its host feeding under different environmental or seasonal circumstances. The implications of these results for arbovirus transmission are discussed.
