Miramar (near San Blas), MEXICO 20 January 2007.

We arrived at Miramar after a lengthy drive from Barra de Navidad today. Over the last few days we've birded Navado de Colima where we saw Chestnut-sided Shrike-Vireo (one of the top three birds of the trip), Cinnamon-bellied Flowerpiercer and Pine Flycatcher, Playa de Oro Road (disappointingly quiet) and Barranca El Choncho where we got a host of good stuff including West Mexican Chachalaca, Orange-breasted Bunting, Sparkling-tailed Woodstar, Golden-crowned Emerald, Lilac-crowned Parrot, San Blas Jay and Ivory-billed Woodcreeper.
We're now situated in Miramar, close to the birding sites around San Blas. As you can see it's a tranquil place with great sunsets but the weather's about to take a turn for the worse. Lucky the enchiladas are good!
