Yucatan Bird Festival
Tuesday November 3, 2009
The 8th annual Yucatan Bird Festival is taking place this month, from November 19 to 22. This festival aims to promote the rich diversity of bird species found in the Yucatan and develop a conservationist culture among tourists and tour providers. Activities will include field trips, conferences, photographic exhibits and a "bird-a-thon." Events will be held in Merida, Celestun and the archaeological site of Uxmal.
The Yucatan Peninsula is home to over 500 bird species, and besides being an excellent destination for birdwatching, visitors can also enjoy beautiful beaches, water parks and ecological reserves.

Birders paradise, no doubt of that!! I would so love to go see a quetzal in its natural environment. *happy sigh*
Sounds like an interesting event and one which is environment friendly.
