Birding in Southern Mexico

January 12-30, 2023

By: Bob and Dianne Leonhardt

In January of 2023 we flew to Oaxaca, Mexico to go on a fourteen-day birding tour with Eagle Eye Tours.  The tour began in the city of Oaxaca on January 15th.  This small group tour then travelled by van southward and eastward ending up in Villahermosa on January 28.  Along the way we travelled through an assortment of environments, including deserts, high alpine forests, jungles, coastal estuaries and more.  This allowed us to encounter approximately 350 species of birds as well as seeing some spectacular scenery in a part of Mexico that is unfamiliar to the majority of tourists.  We also experienced the Zapotec ruins of Monte Alban and the Mayan ruins of Palenque.  It was a very enjoyable experience, and we wish to share some of it with you.

Everyone is welcome at Birds & Beers! Come early if you can but if not, come for the presentation!
