Couldn't resist a pic of Aztec Thrush as my parting shot for the Mexico trip, but the Military Macaw shouldn't go unmentioned. The macaw didn't make the "top three birds of the trip" category, but after watching them in the teaming rain is was good to see them in the sunshine on the Panuco Road. The journey down to Mazatlan was very productive as we travelled back to the coast and we picked up Orange-billed Nightingale-Thrush, Rufous Hummingbird and Russet-crowned Ground-Sparrow. Our last birds in Mazatlan were Red-billed Tropicbirds, Blue-footed and Brown Boobies and Mexican Parrotlets. Can't wait to return!Wednesday, 31 January 2007
