I bumped into Chuck Aid, a visiting birder from the States in the morning, and we had a very productive time. All together, I encountered 60 species. My personal highlights were Montezuma Oropendola, Masked Tityra and Plain Chachalacas (none of which I've previously seen in Queretaro). There were a lot of other very good birds to keep us occupied, though, including Squirrel Cuckoos, several Black-throated Green Warblers, Wedge-tailed Sabrewings, Golden-crowned Warblers, Golden-browed Warbler, Elegant Trogons etc.
Here's a few photos, and below them is the day list. Incredible spot, and highly recommended.
