We present a selection of faint (Ks limit 20) objects detected with the Near-Infrared Camera / Fabry-Perot Spectrometer (NIC-FPS) and 3.5m telescope at Apache Point Observatory as part of a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) target-of-opportunity program. The processing pipeline and cataloging method are described, and we plot the location of the GRB afterglows and other extracted objects in color-space including several examples of co-location with the five SDSS colors. This deep near-infrared GRB fields study is useful for (1) defining the NIR stellar and galactic loci in the MKO broadband filters; (2) aiding the discrimination of GRB afterglow colors, particularly in the case of heavily reddened afterglows; (3) providing deep NIR imaging to compliment SDSS optical fields; and (4) referencing deep NIR observations for photometric and astrometric calibration of faint sources.
