Mexican Birds

In January, 2007, we joined 7 other RV's on an Adventure Caravan's Birding Tour of Western Mexico. Here are some of the bird (and other wildlife) photos we captured. Click on a thumbnail below to bring up an enlarged picture. See also the slide show of our trip.

If you want a copy of any of our photos, let us know. In most cases the originals are of higher quality than these on our website which are reduced for ease of Internet viewing.
