  • Oaxaca: Birding the Heart of Mexico, March 2019
    Tropical Birding - Trip Report Oaxaca: Birding the Heart of Mexico, March 2019 A Tropical Birding SET DEPARTURE tour Oaxaca: Birding the Heart of Mexico 6 – 16 March 2019 Isthmus Extension 16 – 22 March 2019 TOUR LEADER: Nick Athanas Report by Nick Athanas; photos are Nick’s unless marked otherwise Warblers were plentiful on this tour, such as the superb endemic Red Warbler March in much of the Northern Hemisphere was rather dreary, but in southern Mexico we enjoyed day after day of warm, sunny days and cool, pleasant evenings – it was a wonderful and bird-filled reprieve from winter for the whole group including me. The tour visited the dry Oaxaca Valley (rich in culture as well as endemics), the high mountains surrounding it, lush cloudforest and rainforest on the Gulf slope, and dry forest along the Pacific. This provided a great cross-section of the habitats and offered fantastic birds everywhere. Some favorites included Bumblebee Hummingbird, Dwarf Jay, Orange-breasted Bunting, and a daily fix of warblers, both resident and migrant, like the unique Red Warbler shown above. The extension took us east across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, which serves as a natural species barrier. Numerous different species entertained us like Pink-headed Warbler, Rose-bellied Bunting, and a Nava’s Wren which put on an especially magnificent performance. Owling was a mixed bag, but our first attempt got us a spectacular Fulvous Owl, which was high up on the list of tour favorites. On tours like this, the group largely determines the success of the trip, and www.tropicalbirding.com +1-409-515-9110 [email protected] p.1 Tropical Birding - Trip Report Oaxaca: Birding the Heart of Mexico, March 2019 once again we had a friendly and pleasant set of folks who were a pleasure to travel with.

    The perky, endemic Sumichrast’s Wren obliged very well in its karst habitat (Mark Van Beirs) SOUTHERN MEXICO 26 FEBRUARY/3 – 19 MARCH 2019 LEADER: MARK VAN BEIRS 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: SOUTHERN MEXICO www.birdquest-tours.com The enigmatic Horned Guan posed beautifully at El Triunfo (Mark Van Beirs) The fabulous, rare and truly enigmatic Horned Guan was without a doubt the BIRD of the TOUR on our recent Southern Mexico jaunt. The exquisite Pink-headed Warbler and the ever so endearing Bumblebee Hummingbird were other highlights and we were also very much enchanted with our encounter with the uniquely coloured Rosita’s (or Rose-bellied) Bunting. The closely related, sprightly Nava’s and Sumichrast’s Wrens both gave terrific performances full of character in their attractive karst habitat. The tour started under a bad omen, as a nasty bug, picked up with our first picnic lunch caused virtually the whole group to suffer Montezuma’s revenge for more than a week. We were also marred by unusual weather systems that caused a cold front on both of our visits to the Sumidero Canyon, dense mist on our 1,5 day stay in the Valle Nacional and extreme storm winds on our nocturnal foray near San Cristobal. Despite these setbacks we enjoyed a productive tour through the varied habitats of southern and central Mexico. Bird families that performed particularly well were the Corvids (11 species out of 21 Mexican residents), Wrens (24 species out of 34) and Parulid Warblers (34 species out of 66). A group of birds that, sadly, didn’t cooperate at all on this tour were the owls, although we sure tried.

    The stunning Horned Guan is without a doubt one of the best birds in the world (Nigel Redman) SOUTHERN MEXICO 26 FEBRUARY / 3 MARCH – 19 MARCH 2017 LEADERS: MARK VAN BEIRS and NIGEL REDMAN On our 11th Southern Mexico tour we assembled a mouth-watering list of endemics and specialities on our wanderings through the varied habitats of this scenic, very birdy and sadly much maligned country. Our travels took us first to the pristine evergreen and cloud forests of the magnificent El Triunfo Reserve where the fabled Horned Guan showed so very well, next to marvels like Highland Guan, White-faced Quail-Dove, Fulvous Owl, Blue-throated Motmot, Sparkling-tailed Woodstar, Wine-throated and Emerald-chinned Hummingbirds, Resplendent Quetzal, Black-throated Jay, Spotted and Russet Nightingale Thrushes and Prevost’s and White-eared Ground Sparrows. The main tour took us from the forests and scrubby hills of the deep southern state of Chiapas, through the coastal habitats, pine-oak forests and dry inter-montane valleys of Oaxaca, via the limestone hills of Veracruz to the high altitude pine forests and marshes near Mexico City. The Birds of the Trip were without a doubt the striking Horned Guan that performed so very, very well at El 1 BirdQuest Tour Report: Southern Mexico www.birdquest-tours.com Triunfo and the uniquely coloured Pink-headed Warbler that stole our hearts near San Cristobal. The cracking Bumblebee Hummingbird, the magnificent Fulvous Owl, the exquisite Orange-breasted and Rose- bellied Buntings, the rare Golden-cheeked and the exquisite Red Warblers and the unique Ocellated Thrasher were also very much appreciated.
