Birding Puerto Vallarta - Coastline

Several interesting species are easy to see on the coast around Puerto Vallarta.  Snowy Egrets (pictured) are conspicuous, as are other Heron species such as Green, Yellow-crowned Night, Little Blue, Tricolored, Great Egret and Reddish Egret.

 If you keep your eyes to the skies, overflying flocks of Wood Storks and Neotropic Cormorants can be seen.  I was lucky enough to see Military Macaws from the beach at Mismaloya and further down the coast at Yelapa.  Blue-footed Boobies were also present at Mismaloya and Yelapa, as were Royal Terns, and the everpresent Magnificent Frigatebirds and Brown Pelicans.
