	Maricao, Puerto Rico
		Maricao is known as "El Pueblo de las Indieras" (town of indian settlements).
		Maricao, at the western edge of the mountains, is a small town set around a small plaza in hilly terrain, north of San Germán;, Sabana Grande and Yauco; south of Las Marias and Lares; southeast of Mayagüez; and west of Adjuntas.
		The town borders the Maricao Fish Hatchery, a collection of tanks and ponds in a garden setting, where some 25,000 fish are raised yearly to stock farm fishponds and island lakes.

	About Puerto Rico . . . Maricao
		Maricao is a small mountain town of around 8,000 inhabitants, located some thirty to forty minutes east of the city of Mayagüez on State Road 105 (PR 105).
		A fish hatchery, usually referred to as el Vivero de Maricao, located in the outskirts of town is one of the main attractions for visitors.
		Centro Vacacional de Maricao is surrounded by forest vegetation and nature very much alive with bird chirps, coquis, and night temperatures dropping to the fifties, Chimneys are provided in each room, although I personally doubt that many people would actually light them when temperatures are actually refreshingly cool.

		Scaly-naped Pigeon - Columba squamosa - C - Maricao, El Yunque - Most were seen flying fast and direct over the trees and looked dark and nondescript; we finally got a good look at one perched in a snag from the Yokahu tower and found it to be a very dramatic-looking bird.
		Hacienda Juanita and the Maricao HQ are reportedly the most reliable places for this bird in the western mountains but we did not hear any in brief nighttime visits to both spots.
