Nature Notes
Wow! Just got back from Zihuatenjo, Mexico and what a fabulous time. Saw several life bird, including the Emerald Toucanet, Yellow-winged Cacique which makes a 2 foot long hanging nest, the striking White-throated Magpie Jay and 3 new hummingbirds. We visited the brand new "El Refugio de Potosi" which has wonderful exhibits and lots of hummingbird feeders. The Cinnamon, Black-chinned and the magnificent Doubleday's were seen on our visit. Besides the great new birds we saw Mexican (The endemic species) and Green Iguana, crocs, numerous tropical trees including my favorite, the ear pod tree(Enterolobium cyclocarpum). Sand, volcanic rocks, coral reefs, and tropical butterflies all added up to an exciting and educational visit.
