Took an agonising bus trip to Morelia at the weekend, passing a ridiculous amount of good habitat. The bus took the road through the middle of the huge Cuitzeo lake and surrounding marshland. In a car, I'd have stopped and put out some big scans. In the bus, though, I could only get fleeting glimpses of American White Pelicans, scores of Great, Snowy and Cattle Egrets, White-faced Ibises, Great Blue Herons, American Coots, Clarks/Western Grebes and lord knows what else.
Limited birding around Hotel Villa Montana in Morelia brought White-collared Swifts, White-tailed Kite, Turkey Vulture, Orange-crowned Warbler, Yellow-rumped Warbler, House Finch, Lesser Goldfinch, Western Tanager, Summer Tanager, American Robin, Canyon Towhee and Sharp-shinned/Cooper's Hawk.
