nc_roberta Posted January 1, 2005 #1 Share Posted January 1, 2005 Hi All, I am enjoying all your great tips about things to do and see in Cozumel. Is there a place to see lots of birds--that is, birds we don't see here in the US? How about in the botanic garden at Chankanaab National Park? Thanks!

solita Posted January 3, 2005 #2 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Tons of birds here. Flamingo season is just starting to heat up. We do have swallows, hummers, rosette (SP?) spoonbills, frigites, pelicans, vultures, and a ton of colorful little migritory birds. I have seen tons out at Punta Sur. Was out at Chankanaab last week and didn't really see much. And it seems to be butterfly season too. I have seen many beautifully colored ones over the past week...blues, purples, reds,...breath taking ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandDollar Laura Posted January 3, 2005 #3 Share Posted January 3, 2005 oddly enough, I just read an article saying that some orinthologists discovered the "cozumel thrasher" while here. Apparently, native to Cozumel (hence the name) it was thought to be extinct. I'll buy anyone a margarita who can show me what a "cozumel thrasher" looks like though.

SandDollar Laura Posted January 4, 2005 #5 Share Posted January 4, 2005 Dear Karla, My hat's off to you! And I do owe you that drink! See you on the 17th. Where are you going to be?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlanee Posted January 4, 2005 #6 Share Posted January 4, 2005 I'm an internet research junkie - so it was a challenge worthy of meeting - although it didn't take but 5 minutes to locate. We'll be at Paradise Beach probably middle day - we're doing the Atlantis Submarine first - then heading to see Tom and his crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
