It's been a little slow here, and I'm pretty sure this won't help much, but here's a list of the birds I saw during our stay in Comala this winter. All were seen (as compared to heard only), and all were in easy walking distance of Comala and Nogueras and the roads in between.

Great list. Thanks. I am particularly jealous of the owl. I have been chasing them for a long time with no luck. On the other hand I have been lucky enough to see spotted wrens, vermillion flycatchers and bluebirds. Not much around today (early June) but I will be back to Casa Alvarada and my friend Jupiter has his ears open for new birds. Howard Platt, Manzanillo hplattbc@gmail.com
