San Joaquin, Sierra Gorda

Been a bit slow on the blog posts recently - here's some photos from San Joaquin, a town in the south of the Sierra Gorda range, and just 90 minutes from Tequisquiapan.  As you climb into the mountains here, the habitat becomes more forested, and the bird life changes accordingly.

Below - American Robin, Crescent-Chested Warbler and juvenile Mexican Jay.





One good spot at San Joaquin is Aventura Park, where you can stay in cabanas, and walk around some of the tracks in the forest.  As well as the above, we saw Painted Redstarts, Audubon's Orioles, Yellow-eyed Juncos, White-eared hummers, Blue-throated Hummers, Canyon Towhees, Ruby-crowned Kinglets and many more..

We had a day at Grutas las Herrera.  Here, there were Rufous-crowned Sparrows, nesting House Wrens, nesting Pine Flycatcher, Eastern Wood-Pewees, Curve-billed Thrashers..
