A Report from birdtours.co.uk

Species List for Mexico,

Gruff Dodd

Taxonomy is largely based on "A guide to the birds of Mexico and Northern Central America" by Howell and Webb (1995), with one or two subsequent changes.

Please note - where I have not accurately counted the number of a particular species seen, I have preceded the location with 'n'. Numbers of each species seen are understated in many cases, especially regarding the commoner species - I'm not always as diligent as I should be in keeping numbers of species seen.

The letter 'h' denotes that the bird was heard but not seen.
