Mexico
In birding terms México is a very rich country due to its geographical conditions and characteristics, we have a wide variety of climates, habitats and ecosystems which are the home to unique and again wide diversity of flora and fauna. Just to mention some ecosystems we can find coastal dunes, mangroves, savannas, low, medium and high jungle, cloud and rain forests, desert, high mountains, etc, etc. Due again to its geographical location and wide diversity of ecosystems Mexico is considered as one of the 7 countries with Mega biological diversity occupying the first place in number of reptiles in the world, second place in number of land vertebrates, more than 30,000 of plants, as well as 1,040 different species of birds, of which 125 are endemic and approximately 400 can not be found in USA or Canada. Mexico has more species of birds than the USA and Canada combined. Fortunately there have been several studies done on Mexico`s birds, just to mention some important groups we have Psitacidos, which include macaws and parrots, a wide variety of hawks, egrets, herons, warblers, vireos, hummingbirds, woodpeckers, owls, etc. Birds that live on the coast are also well represented; we have a big population of flamingos in the Yucatan peninsula, we have cormorants, pelicans, spoonbills, frigate birds and many more. Birdwatching in Mexico has been long appreciated by visitors again due to the rich diversity we have. Some of the best birdwatching is practiced in most of the 116 protected areas Mexico has throughout the country. With the recent growth of eco-tourism in Mexico birdwatchers have the opportunity to visit many more places than they could before. Mexico already has some professional companies offering high quality birdwatching trips with serious and experienced local birders who can arrange trips throughout the year. Normally these trips have the extra opportunity of doing cultural activities such as seeing historic sites, enjoying great food and experiencing the high quality service that the people in Mexico give to visitors. México es un país que por sus características geográficas y ortográficas presenta una gran variedad de climas y habitats, que brindad refugio y hogar a miles de especies de fauna y flora a través de su vasto territorio. Desde dunas costeras hasta paramos de altura y nieves eternas, encontrando en el camino manglares, sabanas, pantanos, selvas bajas, medianas y altas en sus diferentes clasificaciones, bosques mesófilos de montaña, vegetación xerófita, desiertos, bosques de confieras, etc. Por estas y otras características México a sido considerado dentro de los seis países mas megadiversos del planeta ubicándolo en el primer lugar en cuanto a herpetofauna se refiere, el segundo en vertebrados terrestres, 30,000 plantas superiores, así como con 1040 especies de aves silvestres de las cuales 125 son endémicas y aproximadamente 400 no ocurren al norte de nuestra frontera. Lo cual es un número aun mayor de las que cuenta el número combinado entre Estados Unidos y Canadá juntos. En este aspecto la variedad de aves tanto residentes como migratorias en México es bastante amplia identificando algunas de importancia como: Psittacidos como guacamayos, cotorros y pericos, aves de presas, entre ellas halcones, águilas, milanos, lechuzas, búhos tropicales, etc. Aves marinas de gran importancia como los flamencos, espátulas, cormoranes y fragatas por mencionar algunas, así como otras especies de carpinteros, martín pescador, chupamirtos, tucanes, motmots, trogones, cuervos, chipes, etc. La observación de aves en el caso particular de México, brinda la posibilidad de acercar a la gente a la naturaleza y consigo misma, de conservar y estudiar los recursos disponibles. La observación de aves es una actividad que puede ser realizada de manera independiente o grupal, desde la ventana de tu casa en la ciudad hasta en distintos ambientes naturales. En nuestro país existe una gran variedad de alternativas para procurarse de la observación de aves, pues se cuenta, con distintas clases de áreas protegidas en todo el país, disponibles para el disfrute del turista ávido de paz y naturaleza. Nuestro país hoy en día, cuenta con algunas agencias y empresas de ecoturismo que brindan servicios de observación de aves en tours y rutas perfectamente diseñadas en todo el país, con guías preparados y dispuestos a dar siempre lo mejor de si, para el disfrute y seguridad del turista. |

Calakmul Biosphere Reserve
Calakmul Biosphere reserve is also an area accepted by UNESCO as a natural heritage site. It has more than 1.7 million acres and it is the second largest protected area of Mexico. It is composed basically of a jungle area connecting with the jungle of Guatemala representing the second largest jungle in America after the Amazon.Calakmul has just recently started to be studied. There is not a lot of information on the reserve and the number of species, nevertheless it is known by the abundance and diversity of species that can be seen in the area. There are several groups working in the area such as WWF and Pronatura. A trip to the reserve early in the morning can provide you with a quite diverse view of bird species as well as other animals of the area.
Chiapas
Chiapas is high jungle located in the south of Mexico.Mazatlan
Mazatlan is located on the north pacific coast of Mexico.Siankaan Biosphere Reserve:
Siankaán was established as a Biosphere Reserve in 1986 and incorporated into UNESCO´s list of natural world heritage sites in 1987. Covering more than 1.5 million acres along the central coast of the State of Quintana Roo, it is one of the largest protected areas of Mexico. The reserve is composed equally of semi evergreen tropical forest, wetlands & savannas and marine habitat.The Yucatan peninsula has at least 527 bird species in 62 families of which 12 are endemic with 4 subspecies , 2 morphs and 14 hipotetical registers. Siankaán itself is home to more than 345 bird species, including over 1 million wintering migratory songbirds from the US and Canada and the rare Jabiru stork.
The challenge in the area is to promote rational and sustainable use of the natural resources that is compatible with the conservation of the reserve and at the same time beneficial to the local inhabitants; integrating environmental policy into regional development planning.
Zona del silencio
Zona del silencio is located in Durango and Coahuila in the north of Mexico and is a dessert ecosystem.contributor |

The Fundacion supports the concept of ecodevelopment and works to implement it. Our plan is to achieve sustainable developmentÑthe foundation of a new relationship between humankind and nature. We believe conserving biological diversity and achieving sustainable management of resources must involve local inhabitants, land owners, and both direct and indirect users of the ecosystems. Therefore, since the beginning we have worked alongside the ONG Desarrollo Rural de Guanajuato A.C. (Rural Development Agency); which provides social services to inhabitants of rural areas such as those encompassed by the Santa Rosa Forest of Guanajuato...

1995 [November] - Richard D. Palmer - Western Mexico
http://maybank.tripod.com/Mexico/Mexico-West-11-95.htmThis is a report of a birding trip that Jim Eidel (4150 Meadow Wood Road, Carson City, Nevada 89703-9459, Phone 702-882-9172) and I (Richard D. Palmer, 370 South Avenida De Las Sabinas, Green Valley, Arizona 85614-4701, Phone 520-648-6735, Email PalmerRD@aol.com) took from October 30th thru November 14th, 1995 to the west Mexican states of Sonora, Sinaloa, Nayarit, Jalisco, and Colima.
2001 [January] - Nicholas Block - NE Mexico
http://maybank.tripod.com/Mexico/Mexico-NE-01-2001.htmThree other college students and I recently made a 10-day road trip to northeastern México, concentrating on the El Naranjo/Gómez Farías and Tlanchinol regions. We hoped to see all the northeastern endemics and as many other Mexican specialties as possible. We missed one endemic, unfortunately, most likely due to the fact we spent little time in the best habitat for it. However...

http://www.surfbirds.com/mb/trips/mexico-oc-1202.htmlMy wife and I spent 4 days birding and sightseeing in North-eastern Mexico from November 22nd to 26th, 2002. We drove to and spent some time at the Horsetail Falls/Cola de Caballo area near Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Gomez Farias, Tamaulipas, and the Xilitla, San Luis Potosi area. The roads were in good shape and the weather was excellent. Some areas were birdier than others. All in all, the trip was successful. Below is a detailed report for each day...
2003 [January] - Alex Kirschel - Southern Mexico
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/mexico/mexico11/mex-jan-2003.htmOur plan was to bird Cozumel first, clean up there and then go south to Felipe Carillo Puerto. Our first hotel in touristy Puerto Morales proved the most expensive at US$45, and that for a room with a bathroom that had no door. I tried to identify the ferry crossing details the night before, and found that taking the car across is prohibitively expensive, and pedestrian crossings are best arranged from Calica, rather than the more expensive Playa Del Carmen...
2003 [May] Oscar Carmona
http://www.surfbirds.com/mb/trips/mexico-oc-0903.htmlI led a group of 6 people from the Dallas-Fort Worth area on a birding/history tour of NE and Central Mexico.

2006 [April] - Dave Lowe & Richard Rae
http://www.birdtours.co.uk/tripreports/mexico/mexico-22/SE-april-06.htmThis is a report on a mixed birding and general sightseeing trip to South East Mexico by DL, RR and Emer Callanan, focusing on sites in the Yucatan Peninsula and Northern and Central Chiapas. The trip was planned by ourselves to maximise birding time in the early mornings and then visit Mayan ruins later in the day. The final 4 days were spent on Isla Mujeres. This relaxing island lying 30 minutes off the coast of Cancun proved to be the ideal antidote to the excessively hot and humid forests of the Yucatan. Bird numbers were naturally low but the snorkelling and beaches were a welcome distraction...
2006 [April] - Pete Morris - Western Mexico
http://www.birdquest.co.uk/tripreports.cfm?trip=492...The combination of glorious weather, fine food and accommodation, good roads and great birding inevitably made this an excellent tour. The fact that we had a particularly humorous group and recorded over 400 species (401 to be precise) for the first time, including a very high percentage (just about 90%) of the diamond birds...
2007 [January] - Colin Bushell - Toucan Birding Tours - Western Mexico
http://www.toucantours.co.uk/mexico/birding-mexico.html...Pale-billed Woodpecker and a mixed flock of White-throated and Rufous-backed Thrushes seen in emergent fruiting tree before we started to descend, hitting our first decent flock of the morning including a pair of Grey-collared Becards. Lower still we pick up our only Fan-tailed Warbler before birding is postponed for a while as we help a bunch of Canadian folks who’ve managed to get their vehicle off road. Another Grey-collared Becard, this time a crisp plumaged immature male, seen in the last patch of mature secondary forest before the plantations started. Stopped near Miramar to search through the gulls (mainly Heerman’s and Ring-billeds, with a few American Herrings, Laughing and Bonaparte’s) and watch the waders, herons and terns before lunch...

Mexican Perspective on Migratory Bird Conservation
http://www.planeta.com/planeta/97/1197birds.htmlby Yuriria Blanco-Castillo - Common names vary according to each language and areas within Mexico, for this reason ornithologists always refer to birds using their scientific name. Some, like the Amuzgos, call most birds of prey eagles and all the songbirds and parrots real birds.
