I was denied access to the Park late in the evening today, where I had wanted to take some sunset photos of the Heronry. Instead, I went to a little patch just opposite Parque la Pila behind the 'Hotel del Parque'. There, I encountered a great species for Queretaro - a pair of Rose-throated Becards. This bird is common and widespread in the tropics of Mexico, but isn't found on the central plateau, and may indeed be a new species for the state.

At the same patch were some other interesting birds, including Western Tanager, Bushtit, Bewick's Wren and Nashville Warbler.
