We travelled from the dry forest around Mazatlan to the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains, to the volcanic uplands and mangrove forests near San Blas, and finally to the island of Isabel off the coast. We observed, photographed, and recorded 300 species of birds, including uniquely adapted local endemics. Highlights of the trip included a stay at the Tufted Jay Preserve, a visit to a Mexican Hermit lek, camping in the midst of a gigantic Frigatebird colony, and a close encounter with a whale shark. Come join us as we relive this trip of a lifetime.
