| | WINGS Birding Tours to San Blas, Mexico (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04) |
 | | Not far from the U.S. yet in the midst of a rich and decidedly tropical avifauna, the coastal fishing village of San Blas, Nayarit, has long been famous among birdwatchers. |
 | | Ted and Pat Eliot, Sonoma, CA Characteristic landbirds around San Blas include Citreoline Trogon, Golden-cheeked Woodpecker, Sinaloa Crow, Happy Wren, Rufous-backed Thrush and Yellow-winged Cacique, and we'll always be on the lookout for surprises such as Spotted Rail and Great Swallow-tailed Swift which seem to pop up regularly. |
 | | Certainly one of the highlights of a birding trip to San Blas is an evening boat trip winding through the mangroves, famous for roosting Boat-billed Herons and for Northern Potoos, which come out to hawk for insects at dusk. |
