In Riviera Nayarit, nature runs wild. Along with an abundant variety of wildlife, this new destination stretched along the Pacific coast of Mexico is also home, once a year, to an impressive 80% of the Pacific migratory shore bird population. Bird enthusiasts and travelers alike are able to view and experience insightful guided tours of this spectacular event during the much-anticipated Festival of Migratory Birds. The festival will take place from January 30 - February 1, 2009.
Over 250 species of the region's feathered friends will make the migration to the mangrove eco-region of San Blas, an already popular site throughout the year, to view Riviera Nayarit's nature offerings, including the Crocodile Reserve as well as a tour of the colonial history and fishing villages of San Blas.
However, nothing is quite like the once a year Festival of Migratory Birds in which, during this festival, special seminars on birds, bird watching, and environmental conservation are offered for the public. Special boat tours are also offered to highlight the Festival and ensure that visitors are able to see these magnificent birds in their natural habitat.
Birds that flock to San Blas are, to name a few, the black-bellied tree duck, great blue heron, roseate spoonbill, and endemic birds, including the bumblebee hummingbird and the Mexican woodnymph.
