Here's a chance for some birding fun in the sun, as well as a way to help our friends (both birds and people) south of the border. More details at www.yucatanbird.org.mx
Rob - thanks so much for posting this information. I would also like your readers (fans!) to know that the organizers of the festival tell us that if they don't get a good showing this year, the government probably won't support them next year. So this is a good time for birders to show just how much economic impact they can have...prove the statistics and folklore are right! I know it is asking a lot, but make the sacrifice - go birding in the Yucatan this November! And it is ideal for nonbirding partners - culture (tons of ruins), shopping, and food in this area - near Merida - are all fantastic and prices are very low.
PHOTOS--Much as I wish I had taken the photos on this blog, many are actually just links to online photos for illustrative purposes. If you click on the photo, it should take you to the actual site where it can be found. If you see one of your photos here, and want me to remove it, send me an email and I'll take it right down.

Dear Rob,
Are you going? Wish I were, but it won't fit in this year!
