First Day in Mexico (222 Species YTD)
April 14, 2024
A Golden-fronted Woodpecker peeks out of its nest in a palm tree at my beach resort.
This sole Bronzed Cowbird was on the grass four days in a row in the same spot at my hotel everyone morning. By 9am it was gone, but always there a little bit after dawn.
I'm taking a long weekend in Mexico. Its technically work-related, but am going to have some fun and, of course, do a little birding. My first day at the resort near Playa del Carmen did not disappoint. Its the tropics. Birds are everywhere. I added 22 new species in the year just in a jet-lagged hour walk around the property.
