Bird List Veracruz to Oaxaca Nov. 2-12, 2016
Note: New life birds will be bold. I reserve the right to make mistakes and clean them up later when I run some error checking in a few days. Also, I realize that I saw more birds, but I think I got overloaded at some point and forgot to make any kind of note of what I was seeing. For instance, I just know there were other sparrows... For the moment, it looks like I added 72 life birds. Whew! No wonder I'm sleepy.
