Birding Trips
I have been conducting birding tours here in Veracruz for nine years now.

 The focus of each tour is general birding and raptor migration.  I am limiting the size of each group to eight (8)
birders.
We will do a 2.5 to 3 hours of general birding each morning.
Every afternoon will be dedicated to observation of the raptor
migration.

The raptor migrations of Veracruz are unique in that the represent the
most concentrated movements of migratory birds of prey to be found on
the planet!
Each fall millions of raptors are counted during the
migration season.
If you have never seen it, you are missing one of natures greatest
spectacles.

The cost of the8 night-9 day trip is $1,800 US dollars

This price includes meeting and returning you to the airport in
Veracruz, ground transportation, lodging, meals and guide fees.
The trip is based in Paso de Ovejas Veracruz and is situated
strategically in the center of the raptor migration flow.
Lodging:
The hotel is clean and has air conditioning. There is also a nice
observation deck and swimming pool at the hotel. (in past years birders
have enjoyed the hawk migrations from the comfort of the pool at the
hotel!)
Food:
Doña Isabel is the cook for the group and she whips up some excellent
mexican dishes (all spicy seasonings are on the side) Dinners include
beer, red wine or margaritas. Good food is important to me and we make
it a focus of the tour.

This is not a fancy luxury tour...I use the restaurant, hotel, taxis
and people of the community to help make this tour work. This is
community ecology based tourism in action.This is an opportunity to
have some real FUN while seeing thousands and thousands of migrating
raptors.
My name is David McCauley. I have lived in Veracruz for many years. I
am a nature photographer. I am concerned about bird conservation and
education projects here in Mexico.
Your participation in these tours will benefit these efforts of mine.
I hope that if you choose to participate in these groups that you will
consider it a cultural exchange. Bring a good attitude and it will be
reflected back to you many times.

This is a great opportunity to share your knowledge of birds of prey
with others, or learn in an environment that is negative attitude free.

I look forward to hearing from you and will be most happy to help you
with your trip preparations.
Good birding,
