Mexico: Southern
A short and exciting tour through Chiapas and Oaxaca. Starting in Mexico City for some tricky species like White-naped Swift, Aztec Rail, Black-backed Oriole, and Black-polled Yellowthroat, we then head towards the south coast. Hill forests contain Dwarf and White-throated Jays, the tiny Bumblebee Hummingbird, and Red Warbler, among many other Mexican endemics. After an enjoyable pelagic, we continue looking for highly range-restricted endemics like the stunning Rose-bellied Bunting and Nava's Wren, before finishing up with a couple of great bonuses like Unspotted Saw-whet Owl, Bearded Screech Owl, Pink-headed Warbler, and Giant Wren. All up, an easy tour with superb food and plenty of special birds!
