Dear Colorado birders, Come Discover the West Mexico Connection!
Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory (RMBO) and the University of Guadalajara's Manantlan Institute for Ecology and Conservation of Biodiversity (IMECBIO) are excited to announce we will again be offering a very special trip this winter to one of western Mexico's most important biodiversity hotspots: southern Jalisco. This is a unique opportunity to explore one of Mexico's most diverse landscapes, and learn about its ecology and conservation, through an insider's tour of biosphere reserves and other birding hotspots. The trip will be led by knowledgeable and friendly local ornithologists who have been studying the birds of this region for decades and who have exclusive access to some of the region's best birding sites. Southern Jalisco and adjacent Colima is a crossroads of three major mountain ranges, along with valleys, plains and coasts, that together boast over 500 bird species, including virtually all of the long-distance migrants from western North America, and an amazing 91 Mexican endemic or near-endemic species, all in an area 1/8 the size of Colorado. Best of all, 100% of proceeds will support international bird conservation efforts in this region. This seven-night, all inclusive trip, will take place February 20-27, 2010, and is limited to 8 participants. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind opportunity -- reserve your spot now! For complete details on the trip and how to make reservations, please visit http://rmbo.org/v2/web/International/wmcbt.aspx. Also, feel free to contact me directly at the phone number or email address provided below. I would be happy to tell you more about the trip and answer any of your questions. We hope to see you in Mexico!
