This natural preserve for Mexico's endemic
Tufted Jay, is partially credited to your expert birding guide
on this exciting birdwatching tour. Highlights of this
tour include the famed Tufted Jay, as well as the Bumblebee
Hummingbird, Rufous-Capped Burshfinch, Crescent-Chested Warbler,
and Scott's Oriole, to be found on a ridge overlooking the
breathtakingly beautiful Barranca Rancho Liebre.
We'll climb out of the warm and humid
lowlands of Mazatlan, nearly 6,000 feet (2,000 meters) high into
the cool, pine and oak-forested canyons of the Sierra Madre
mountains. Here you may be treated to such exciting
endemic species as the Mountain Trogon, White Eared Hummingbird,
Red Warbler, or Red-Headed Tangier, and many other exciting
species such as the Painted and Slated Redstarts, Blue
Mockingbird, Mexican Chickadee, and Yellow-eyed Junco.
Runs: Fridays from 5:30 AM to 5:30 PM.
This tour does not run August through October.
This preserve is
one of the only places in the world you can see the exciting
Tufted Jay. Just being this high in the Sierra Madre is
spectacular, let alone the over 100 species of high-elevation
birds!
