  • South Mexico – December 2005
    South Mexico – December 2005 Petri Hottola [email protected] Bird-tourism in 'Post-Wilma' South Mexico: Cozumel Island, Yacatan, Chiapas, Oaxaca and Veracruz in December 2005. In December 2005, I had a three week birdwatching vacation in Southern Mexico. Starting from Merida, about 5000 km was driven in the search for birds and animals. A total of 454 bird species were recorded on the way, the main dip outs being White-bellied Chachalaca, White-faced Quail-Dove, Pacific Screech-Owl, Unspotted Saw-Whet Owl, Longtailed Sabrewing, Cozumel Emerald, Ocellated Trasher, Lovely Cotinga, Blue-Crowned Chlorophonia, Rose-throated Tanager, Stripe-headed Tanager and Plain-breasted Brushfinch, as explained in the text. My trip was a serious birding challenge with little else included, and some nocturnal driving to see or hear the owls and nightjars. One night (Calakmul) was spent in the rental car, the excellent Nissan Tsuru. I made my personal year record in 2005, 1713 species, and also reached the 5000 marker (life list) on this journey, in Puerto Arista. A full species list could not be produced due to time restrictions, but most key species are included in the following comments. The idea is to provide some up-to-date information on the sites visited, regarding species, access, accommodation and other practical matters, especially in reference to Steve Howells A Bird-Finding Guide to Mexico (1999). Many of the comments in the text can only be understood in relation to this guidebook, which still today is the main reference to birdwatching in Mexico. Most of the information in Howell was discovered to be accurate, six years after the publication.

  • The Early Classic Obsidian Trade at Los Horcones, Chiapas, México
    FAMSI © 2008: Claudia Garcia-Des Lauriers The Early Classic Obsidian Trade at Los Horcones, Chiapas, México Research Year: 2006 Culture: Mixe-Zoquean, Teotihuacán Chronology: Early Classic Location: Tonalá, Chiapas, México Site: Los Horcones Table of Contents Abstract Resumen Introduction Chronology The Obsidian Assemblage from Los Horcones Obsidian Sourcing and Source Distribution Results Obsidian Exchange Patterns on the Pacific Coast of Chiapas during the Classic Period Los Horcones and Obsidian Exchange Patterns at the Macro-Regional Scale Discussion Acknowledgements List of Figures List of Tables Sources Cited Submitted 09/06/2007 by: Claudia Garcia-Des Lauriers Assistant Professor, Department of Art University of Nevada, Las Vegas [email protected] [email protected] 1 Abstract Proyecto Arqueológico Los Horcones (PALH) has conducted two seasons of archaeological fieldwork at the site of Los Horcones on the Pacific Coast of Chiapas with the primary goal of investigating the nature of Teotihuacán’s presence at this site. PALH builds on the pioneering work of Carlos Navarrete (1976, 1986) who was the first to identify evidence of connections between this site and Central México. This report summarizes the result of sourcing analysis conducted on obsidian artifacts from Los Horcones. The evidence shows the importance of trade and exchange in the history of this site and the remarkable extent of the networks that brought this valuable resource to Los Horcones. Six distinct sources were being exploited, first among them was green obsidian from Pachuca showing strong economic ties between Los Horcones and Teotihuacán during the Early Classic. Resumen La principal meta de las dos temporadas de trabajos de campo realizados por el Proyecto Arqueológico Los Horcones (PALH) en la costa del Pacifico de Chiapas en el sitio de Los Horcones a sido investigar los contactos entre Teotihuacán y este sitio.

    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.
