January 21: Steve Howell on his just-completed tour to San Blas on Mexico's west coast
Our tour to San Blas was wonderful; the birding was great, and the weather warm and sunny. As usual, this 'winter getaway' tour produced over 250 species in a relaxed week of birding based at a single hotel with amazing food and fabulous hospitality. The variety of habitats near town produced birds ranging from Boat-billed Heron to Rosy Thrush-Tanager, from Colima Pygmy-Owl to Golden-cheeked Woodpecker, and from Green Kingfisher to Citreoline Trogon. Plus delightful quiet backroads, empty beaches, a great group, and friendly people wherever we went. It couldn’t have been better.
