With Ian Harrison. This trip, a long time in planning was, initially be be, eastern Mexico. Originally we'd thought to visit Chiapas after the Yucatán, but a comparison of Chiapas birds to the Guatemala list suggested almost all those species, and more besides, could be found in Guatemala; so the trip ended up morphing into two weeks in Yucatán and two weeks in Guatemala. Despite being ill for much of the trip - virus/fever/flu/whatever - the trip was very enjoyable, the birding good and road travel easy due to light traffic. We used Howell's Birding Guide to Mexico and supplemented it with some recent trip reports from the web. Some notes, or updates on Howell, are given for the sites we visited.

Itinerary

1 Apr. We took Air Canada from a freezing London Heathrow to Toronto - with very similar weather - and a connection through to Cancún. Canada now suffers the same lunacy and paranoia as the USA where it's necessary to pass through immigration even when in transit. Here, we received the third degree of questioning concerning the travel stamps in our passports, where we were staying and travel plans for Mexico, before eventually being waved through. Not impressed! Arrived in Cancún around 19:00 and soon out of immigration and customs. As half expected, our pre-arranged transfer to the Comfort Inn was not to be seen, and phone calls to their toll free number remained unanswered. No sooner had we debated taking a taxi than the bus actually turned up - welcome to Mexico. Overnight at the Comfort Inn, 10 minutes from the airport.

Comfort Inn, Cancún

One of the chain of Comfort Inns across North America. Convenient and only a few kilometres from the airport, we chose this hotel as we had to overnight twice for connecting flights. We paid $60 for a twin including breakfast and pickup from the airport. The location was on a large intersection, but with the aircon running this was not an issue. The hotel had a small restaurant open till 22:00. Free WiFi Recommended.

Easy Way Car Rental, Cancún

Car rental operators around Cancún have a deserved reputation for sleazy practices and devious behavior. We used Easy Way due to less than awful reviews and price. We'd rate them as passable but still tricky - probably hard to find an honest operator here. Make sure everything is agreed in writing in advance. They tried to sting us for an extra driver even though we'd been quoted for two drivers - a charge we challenged them to show us on their website, which they could not. Good idea to take photos of all scratches and knocks on the car, as well as the fuel gauge level, before setting off. The car was not what we booked but similar, was fairly new and performed well enough for the $400 for 13 days that we rented. We received a 10% discount for cash. Not particularly recommended.

Isla Mar Villas, Cozumel

With its huge beach tourism industry, Cozumel has an incredible range of accommodation. We came across the Isla Mar Villas on a web trawl and selected it based on its quiet location away from the main drag, and the helpful owner who responded to a number of questions on Cozumel logistics. We paid $80 for a small apartment with self catering facilities. Undoubtedly there are cheaper options in Cozumel but the facilities and price were fair value. A small pool was available on the premises, free WiFi was available and convenience stores and restaurants within walking distance. Recommended.

2 Apr. With seven hours of jet lag to deal with, unsurprisingly we were up early. Checked in for our MAYAir flight to Cozumel and, with an hour to spare, paid a visit to the Aeroméxico‎ office to sort out a confusing series of emails and reschedules we'd received from them for our Cancún to Guatemala City flight. This basically translated to us having been bumped from our original booking due to some nefarious machinations on their side - friends of friends probably jumping the queue. Our twenty minute flight to Cozumel left on time at 10:00 and by 11:00 we were checked into the Isla Mar Villas in town. Ran a few necessary chores such as a supermarket visit and purchase of a local SIM card, and then collected our pre-arranged car from Less Pay Car Rental. Although cheaper than other rental companies on Cozumel this company should be renamed Rent-a-Wreck, as the cars supplied are really not roadworthy. Never the less as distances are minor on Cozumel we took the car and headed out to the San Gervasio ruins along the cross-island highway, where finally, after two days of travel we were finally in the field. As rather hot the birding was initially slow, but in three hours we found several Cozumel Vireo, Cozumel Bananaquit, Cozumel Emerald, a single Cozumel House Wren, Caribbean Elaenia, Caribbean Dove, Rufous-browed Peppershrike and Yucatan Vireo. At 17:00 the ruins close, so the final hour spent along the southern half of the cross-island highway. The pool at the end of the highway held Northern Jacana, Black-bellied Whistling Duck, Anhinga and Blue-winged Teal. Towards dusk, we tried a quarry area nearby and lucked into a vocal pair of Yucatan Amazon. An impressive list for our first afternoon on Cozumel and a great start to the trip.

3 Apr. We started at the Presidente grids as outlined in Howell. Habitat here was much as everywhere on the island and we encountered more Cozumel Vireo, several Cozumel Emerald and another Cozumel House Wren. Additional species included White-crowned Pigeon, Green-breasted Mango, Killdeer, Northern Parula and Magnolia Warbler. Once early morning activity had died down we moved on to the village of El Cedral, where the only bird of note was a male Cozumel Emerald.

Black Vulture

We took a longer walk down a shrubby track but other than more Cozumel Vireo little of interest. Having read about interesting habitat around the golf course we paid a visit to the office of the manager there to see what might be arranged. Good to see that birds and the environment are being considered here with birders welcomed, but only by appointment and guided with a local biologist. For those wanting to partake the cost is $50 a head including breakfast at the club after morning birding. After a short siesta we visited the sewage plant north of town for a couple of hours. The track to the beach was really busy with beach tourists, but good birding was still found along the road and marshy area adjacent to the sewage plant.

A small group of American White Ibis were present, with several Ruddy Crake vocal but impossible to see. For completeness we walked the couple of kilometres to the beach, but heavy disturbance by speedboats and strong winds meant little found other than a group of Royal Tern. We finished the day with an attempt for nightbirds - returning at dusk to the Presidente grids. It took a while for any nocturnal species to become vocal, and a walk around the grids produced only a few Pauraque. On the way out we stopped at random in a couple of places along the access road and were eventually rewarded with several close flight views of Yucatan Nightjar, as well a hearing Middle American Screech Owl and Northern Potoo.

4 Apr. An early return to the sewage plant. Despite the early hour, a procession of vehicles was still heading toward the beach - hard to imagine why tourists would be up at this hour. Initially, we entered the actual plant area hoping to be able to scan any open edges of marsh, but no open areas visible anywhere, and crakes calling only from distant tall sedge areas. So we reverted to walking the road and peering into the smallest of gaps visible along the edge. Amazingly, with a couple of Ruddy Crake calling nearby, one was seen well at close range as it fed. With our main target achieved we briefly stopped at the entrance of the golf course where we found Cozumel Emerald, Great Kiskadee and Yellow-rumped Warbler. Drove the cross-island highway again to check the pool at the end, with a similar selection of species as previously plus American Purple Gallinule and Green Heron. Returned to the accommodation, checked out, dropped car and back to the airport for the 15:00 flight to Cancún. Our pre-arranged pick-up with Easy Way Car Rental was not at the airport and had to be chased. Eventually, we were on the road by 16:30 and made good time heading west on the Couta road toward Valladoid However, darkening skies and lighting storms accompanied by very heavy rain hit us and slowed our progress. On arrival at Ek Balam it was still hammering down and electricity was out in the village. Although we knew nothing of Ek Balam we'd chosen to stop here as the drive all the way to Rio Lagartos would have meant arriving very late. It proved to be a good birding locality.

Dolcemente Hotel, Ek Balam

Ek Balam is a small rural village, with few inhabitants, but being close to Ek Balam Ruins receives a few tourists off the beaten track. The Dolcemente Hotel is run by an Italian lady and consists of about 15 rooms around a central courtyard. The exterior looks run down but the ambience once inside is relaxed. The rooms are large, clean and comfortable. The only negative is that there's no aircon, so at hot times of the year it could be sweaty at night. We paid $65 for a twin room. No WiFi

Villa de Pescadores, Rio Lagartos

One of several similar hotels at Rio Lagartos. Situated right on the estuary, it's possible to birdwatch from the balcony. Rooms clean and comfortable with aircon. $56 for a twin. Free WiFi Not particularly good value, and next time we'd try a different place though suspect all might be similar.

5 Apr. Still overcast and cool with spots of rain early. Having spoken to the owner the previous evening, who reckoned the ruins were good for birding and told us the short-cut, back way in, we opted to spend the first few hours of the day trying this area rather than making an early dash to Rio Lagartos. This proved to be an excellent decision, having the whole ruins to ourselves and a stream of excellent species - one of the nicest morning's birding in many years. The walk to the ruins was just over a kilometre and passed through scrub and fields, with Cinnamon-bellied Saltator, Scrub Euphonia, Canivet's Emerald and Blue-crowned Motmot. A couple of hours around the ruins, which contained several fruiting trees gave us White-fronted Parrot, Yucatan Jay, Turquoise-browed Motmot, Rose-throated Becard, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Gartered Trogon and five species of oriole - Yellow-tailed Oriole, Orange Oriole, Altimira Oriole, Black-cowled Oriole and Hooded Oriole. The drive to Rio Lagartos was completed by 12:00 where we checked in to the Villa de Pescadores.

Excellent weather, due in part to the stiff northerly breeze and the cooling effect of the heavy rain from yesterday. The remainder of the afternoon was spent along the track to Rancho San Salvador east of town as mentioned in Howell. Yucatan Wren proved initially difficult to locate but once we'd walked a kilometre up the track they were rather common. Other sought after birds found were Yucatan Bobwhite and Mexican Sheartail, but no luck on the Lesser Roadrunner.

6 Apr. Making a specific effort for Lesser Roadrunner, we spent from 06:00 - 10:00 along the same Rancho San Salvador track- unfortunately to no avail. Driving farther in, about four kilometres, as far as the ranch, we walked almost the whole track to the main road and back. None the less, some interesting birds seen including Plain Chachalaca, heaps of Yucatan Bobwhite, King Vulture, Zone-tailed Hawk, Zenaida Dove, White-fronted Amazon, Squirrel Cuckoo, Cinnamon Hummingbird, Rose-throated Becard and Yucatan Jay. After a late breakfast in town, in the heat of the day, we tried the water front at San Felipe, which held a good number of Brown Pelican plus four American White Pelican.

On the drive out we lucked in to a single Lesser Roadrunner crossing the highway in the middle of the day. Continued to Los Colorados and checked the old pier behind the village where we found several American Herring Gull and a single Lesser Black-backed Gull. We then drove a loop through the saltpans, to the estuary and back. Most waders proved to be Greater Yellowlegs and Lesser Yellowlegs, with others including more American White Pelican, Peregrine Falcon and the usual flocks of American Flamingo. Returned for a final session at San Salvador track, adding White-tailed Hawk to the list

.7 Apr. Left 05:40 and drove to Chichen Itza ruins, stopping for early coffee en route, arriving just after the 08:00 opening time, and with a Lesser Roadrunner en route as a bonus. Entry to the ruins now costs around $18 and it's a myth that entrance on Sundays is free. We spent the next four hours here. Birding was a little frustrating, as getting into the surrounding scrub and forest generally means finding ways around wire and barriers. We managed this with mixed success, only once being hailed back as "oy you, get back here". Some highlights included Yucatan Sparrow, Ivory-billed Woodcreeper, Yellow-throated Euphonia, Golden-olive Woodpecker, Yucatan Jay, Spot-breasted Wren and Blue-winged Warbler. Although the ruins at Chichen Itza are world famous, they are a tacky tourist trap when compared to Calakmul, Ek Balam, or Tikal in Guatemala. Most of the pathways are lined with vendors selling trinkets from which it is difficult to escape. Give it a miss if visiting other ruins and similar birding sites.

The remaining drive to Felipe Carrillo Puerto was close to three hours. On driving into town we found the La Cieba Hotel which seemed to fit the bill, so after checking in we headed up the Sian Ka'an forest road for the final hour of the day, with the best species being Red-throated Ant Tanager, Spot-breasted Wren and Couch's Kingbird. After dark we remained for a night bird hunt and had a couple of frustratingly close encounters with Yucatan Poorwill, both of which were close but stubbornly refused to be seen and were inaccessible. Also Yucatan Nightjar heard. Dinner at the Faisan and Venado Restaurant in town.

La Cieba Hotel, Felipe Carrillo Puerto

Previous trip reports, plus some extensive internet searching in advance of our trip, failed to identify any recommended accommodation in Felipe Carrillo Puerto. However, as we drove into town, on Highway 295 from Valladoid, almost the first building we encountered on the north side of town was the La Cieba Hotel. This small hotel with rooms and cabins, seemed fairly new, had aircon and hot water, was clean and had free WiFi - which worked OK in the rooms but better at reception. We liked that it was out of town and quiet. The staff were very helpful, even ordering in pizza one evening. The only drawback was that it did not have a restaurant, but the town is so small that it was easy to go back for shops and meals when required. We stayed all our three nights here, and would definitely recommend this place to other visiting birders.

8 Apr. Down the Ka'an Sian road with a couple of early stops, seeing Red-billed Pigeon. Down to the 6.3 Km track mentioned in Howell, where we spent six hours along it walking maybe three kilometres. Here we had Collared Aracari, Keel-billed Toucan, Wedge-tailed Sabrewing and Grey-throated Chat. In heat of day walked the main track between Km 8 and 10, and managed Tawny-winged Woodcreeper and Black Catbird. Continued with a slow drive and walk as far as Km 18, where we had White-browed Wren, and then retraced our steps slowly to Km 6 where we hoped the more open areas might attract Yucatan Poorwill, with four heard and eventually one spotlighted after some fence climbing. Also Northern Potoo and Middle American Screech Owl heard.

9 Apr. A very hot, humid and windy day which led to some arduous birding - slogging in the heat. We started at the open areas along the start of the Ka'an Sian track, with Red-billed Pigeon, Scarlet Tanager, Mangrove Vireo, Barred Antshrike, Common Yellowthroat, Yucatan Sparrow, Indigo Bunting and Hook-billed Kite. We then drove to a track we'd found yesterday, at around Km 11. However, after a few hundred metres it appeared to be mainly secondary forest and quite birdless, so after half an hour gave up and retuned to walk a section around Km 6-8. Already by 10:00 it was hot and birdless, but with some perseverance, in three hours we managed King Vulture, Grey-headed Kite, a big surprise Ruddy Woodcreeper, Yellow-billed Cuckoo and Blue-black Grosbeak. A siesta was called for until about 15:00 when we returned to Km 6 for the final hours of the day. Some good warbler groups included Blackburnian Warbler, Hooded Warbler and Chestnut-sided Warbler, as well as Yellow-billed Cacique, Black-cowled Oriole, Long-billed Gnatwren and Yucatan Flycatcher. Dinner and beers at the Faisan y Venado again.

Rio Becs Dreams, Xpujil

We stayed here based on previous trip reports. Situated about 10 kilometres west of Xpujil, it's already part way to Calakmul, but which is still 110 kilometres farther. In Xpujil town itself there are several hotels of varying standard as well a fancy resort next to Rio Becs Dreams. After three nights we were still not sure what we thought of this place, which is decidedly quirky. On the positive side the food was excellent - probably the best we had in Mexico - and there's a few birding trails on the property. The jungalow room we had, whilst clean and comfortable, was decidedly small with next to no space for baggage. At $55 a night, with shared bathroom, the value was not that great. The bungalows at $80 looked spacious. The accommodation is right on the main road with trucks passing all night, although we were always so tired the noise didn't wake us. The internet needs sorting out here, as its limited daily quota means everyone gets cut off for the day after a few people have used it. No phone signal on the property. Staff were friendly and helpful.

 

10 Apr. Started early in the fields just short of the main forest. Spent an hour or more walking some side trails through hacked scrub and open areas - Yucatan Amazon, Southern House Wren and Orchard Oriole were new species for the trip. Before it became too hot we drove into main forest to about Km 7 and walked a side trail on the left, which also turned to secondary growth fast but did hold Northern Bentbill and Grey-throated Chat. Returned to the Km 6.3 track and spent an hour here but other than repeat species nothing of note. Checked-out and drove to Xpujil, stopping en route to visit the signed Laguna Michael Hidalgo - basically a waste of time - Grey Catbird and the first Blue-grey Tanager but, save for a lone crocodile, devoid of birds and wildlife. Arrived Rio Becs Dreams, and received instructions from the staff to the bat cenote as "40 kilometres to the west". Had a hard time to find the exact track to the cenote, as it's not signed, and is actually about 35 kilometres away. Spent last hour waiting for the bats with Grey Hawk, Yucatan Jay, Brown Jay and Blue-black Grosbeak. At 18:10 the bats emerged and we spent some time watching then as well as freeing a trapped individual caught on a thorn bush. Well after dark, at the base of the cenote on floor, we watched a New World Barn Owl which evidently dines on bats every night.

Bat Cenote, Xpujil

The cenote is situated about half way between the Km 106 and Km 107 markers, about 45 kilometres west of Xpujil town, and just after the bat signs along the highway. A pull-in cum parking area is found on the right side, when travelling west, that has a dilapidated and totally faded information board. Walk about 300 metres to the cenote on a well marked white stone path.

11 Apr. An 05:00 start with coffee thankfully available thanks to make it yourself at the bar. We arrived at the Calakmul turn off just after 06:00 to find it already manned, so paid fee to drive the first 20 kilometres of the road. At the Biosphere Reserve entrance paid again and initially made our way to Km 27 where we walked down to the lagoon edge. At this time of year almost totally dry, but a few damp patches held some interesting species including Hooded Warbler, and an excellent Ruddy Woodcreeper which was attracted to an area of feeding ants, and made several sorties to feed. Continued with a slowish drive to the Calakmul ruins seeing about four Ocellated Turkey en route.

Calakmul
Calakmul

Despite the incredibly dry surrounding forests, those around Calakmul were still quite green. Paid the entrance fee and spent almost four hours in the ruins walking the "long route" through the forest and around the temple complex. The first bird encountered on entrance was Great Curassow which crossed the path. Other species of interest included Plain Chachalaca, Painted Bunting, Mexican Antthrush, Golden-winged Warbler, Blue-black Grosbeak, numbers of Tennessee Warbler and Yellow-green Vireo. Climbing some of the highest temples gave spectacular views of distant forests as well a single Bat Falcon. Other species encountered during our time here included Limpkin, Northern Jacana, Solitary Sandpiper, Blue Ground Dove, Keel-billed Toucan, Pale-billed Woodpecker, Northern Barred Woodcreeper and White-bellied Wren. After 15:00 drove the entrance road slowly but for almost two hours hardly a bird seen as so hot and dry. In the last hour of the day with temperatures finally dropping we managed several Great Curassow and many Ocellated Turkey along the road, plus a single flyover Crested Guan. A lighting strike at Rio Becs Dreams blew out the transformer which put paid to Internet, lights and recharging of batteries.

Birding Calakmul

Turn off southward, 55 kilometres west of Xpujil. The first barrier at this turn off is open 24 hours and attended during daylight hours to alleviate you of the fee for first 20 kilometres of the road. Fees are based on per car and per person. Our total fees. including entrance to the reserve and ruins, came to about $30. After the first 20 kilometres you hit the reserve entrance gate - open only 06:00 to 18:00. The best birding is around the ruins themselves and the access road inside the reserve. The road is now paved all the way. Note there's no facilities anywhere so take all food and water.

HormigueroHormiguero

12 Apr. No coffee this morning due to the power outage! Out to Hormiguero north of Xpujil. Not knowing this site or habitat we started birding the first couple of kilometres of the access road in open scrub. This gave us Bicoloured Hawk, Yucatan Sparrow, Plumbeous Kite, Wedge-tailed Sabrewing, Bright-rumped Attila and Smoky-brown Woodpecker. Entrance into the ruins, which were small but very good, was free. In a walk around the humid forest here we saw Northern Bentbill, Ivory-billed Woodcreeper, Ochre-bellied Flycatcher, Plain Xenops and Ridgway's Pygmy Owl.

A walk along the entrance road was pretty dead but the pond after a kilometre or so held a great selection of species coming to visit in the heat of the day - Yucatan Flycatcher, Grey-cheeked Thrush, Sulphur-bellied Flycatcher, Grey-headed Tanager, Solitary Sandpiper, Yellow-backed Oriole and Yellow-throated Euphonia. After, we drove to town and then tried the road to Rio Becs ruins. However, as this proved impassible to our saloon we continued on foot. Habitat however not good and mostly weedy fields. Best bird was Yucatan Bobwhite. On the return a view of roadside pools held Neotropical Cormorant and Snail Kite.

13 Apr. We decided to give the short trail system behind Rio Becs Dreams a look. An hour here at first light produced Yucatan Flycatcher, Yucatan Sparrow, Yucatan Amazon, Wedge-tailed Sabrewing, Smoky-brown Woodpecker, Ivory-billed Woodcreeper and Barred Antshrike. As still relatively cool and partly cloudy, we gave the Hormiguero road a final go, with a large group of Yucatan Bobwhite, Solitary Sandpiper, Canivet's Emerald, Spot-breasted Wren and White-collared Seedeater. Left around 10:00 for long drive to Cancún . Took an hour break at the small ruins at Muyil where we had Prothonotary Warbler, Myrtle Warbler, Black-cowled Oriole and our only Collared Trogon of the trip. Arrived Cancún at dusk for a final night at Comfort Inn.

14 Apr. Flight to Guatemala City via Mexico City to start the Guatemala leg of trip.
