Each recent trip I've been on has resulted in great birds.
Despite extremely high water levels, muddy patches are throwing up good waders. Many Baird's and Least Sandpipers around, with some Western Sandpipers, Greater and Lesser Yellowlegs, Long-billed Dowitchers and the more common stuff. Oh yeah, and about 3000 Wilson's Phalaropes still at El Centenario.
El Centenario was Hummingbird crazy last weekend. As well as Violet-crowned and dozens of Broad-billed, there were half a dozen Black-chinned and some probably Ruby-throateds as well buzzing around. Great stuff!
Constitucion holds a dozen Laughing Gulls, 2 Ring-billed Gulls, and best of all a Royal Tern, absolute mega inland...
Things got interesting at the Rio San Juan in Tequis, with lots of Western Wood Peewees and a DICKCISSEL, which is normally a coastal migrant in central Mexico. What's next??
