El Bajio Report





El Bajio Report: Aves Galeria




Apr 1 2007
Woo Hoo!! Who Knew?

"El Bajio Rules":
according to 34 early birders who beat the sunrise on
this first day of Daylight Savings Time.


Great Birding on and off shore

Don Bell led us along the shoreline and along the
lanes of El Bajio to see the great variety of avifauna
that find their home and habitat there.


And at the lovely jardines of the lovely Isabella, we
were treated to even more including, for some of us, a
Barn Owl, Magnificent Hummingbird, and more
Warblers.
