We had our first group of birders visit!
Their goal was to spot a trogon, and immediately on arrival a beautiful Elegant Trogon perched on our capuline tree just next to our terrace, where the birders were drinking cups of hot tea.
Georgia, a local birding guide, toured our guests around the property and helped point out the various birds who have made their home at the Bosque. There were a couple of botonists in the group who were thrilled to see the variety of plants throughout the land – especially ferns!
Georgia was awarded Master Birder designation from Seattle Audubon and has founded a birding club for bird enthusiasts in the Lake Pátzcuaro area.
