Last year I was invited to visit a friend at her winter home in Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Kathy thought I'd enjoy myself due to all of the birds seen where she lives. I wasn't able to visit in 2013 and was again invited this year. Tickets purchased and today was travel day. Left Philadelphia at 5:30, flew through Houston, Texas and arrived in Mexico about noon. After stopping for lunch we were off to her home. She's in a community of 18 houses and each has a rooftop patio. here's her house and the view from her roof. Four cruise boats happened to be in town when I arrived.
After chatting a while I took a walk around the village. It's a treasure trove of birds. I saw good numbers of White-winged Doves and Gila Woodpeckers up on the cactus that are all over. I saw House Finches, House Sparrows, male and female Hooded Oriole (life bird), Ash-throated Flycatcher and the endemic Xantus's Hummingbird (life bird). I was really excited to see the hummer.
