After leaving Coba we headed for FCP where we stayed 3 nights at the El Faisan y el Venado at only 45 mex peso a night, very basic but has a good restaurant. The hotel was situatated only a 5 min drive away from where we wanted to bird the approach road to Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. The reserve is 1.6 million acres mostly all closed to the public, we birded it from two places, this one at FCP and one other area at Muyil Unbelieveably during the fortnight we had 3 Northern Potoos, a giant bird when hunting moths.
A basic hotel but you got your own Armadillo!
The approach road to the buffer zone of Sian Kaan - we had Yucatan Nightjar and Yucatan Poorwill here.
Clearings are always good for birds and this garden in the forest was exceptional, birds included; Turquoise-browed Motmot, Blue Bunting, Yucatan and White-fronted Parrot, Aztec Parakeet, Squirrel Cuckoo, Roadside Hawk, Aracari, Red Cardinal, Lineated and Pale-Billed Woodpecker, Rose Throated Becard, Masked and Black Crowned Tityra.....
