You don't need to be an expert birder to contact a Pal. Together you have love for nature, birds, new countries and learning.
These are serious birdwatchers willing to share their time to help you. It is a privilege to contact them. Your message should be respectful.
A Birding Pal does not charge a fee, however you should pay for their expenses, transportation costs, entrance fees, meals, etc.
Pals will answer your messages quickly, if they can. You might select someone who is traveling, so write to more than one Pal, and be patient. Let us know if someone doesn't answer and we'll check that everything is okay.
Let us know when you are going to meet a Pal, and then let us know how it went.
Happy birding.

I got interested in birds in 2005 when I went for a walk and accidentally glimpsed a Mountain Trogon, it was a moment that changed my life forever. Birds have now become the most important part of my life and I'm really passionate about them and eager to bird anytime. I'm also a bird illustrator and photographer and hope to make a living with my art in the future. I'd love to go birding with other people who share the same passion, I'm not a professional guide and won't charge you for birding around San CristÃÂÃÂÃÂóbal but donations are welcome if you consider it appropriate.

Huatulco, Oaxaca is noted for its bio diversity. The area is protected and the development theme is based on conservation. I amvsp&spvavid photographer and have been taking photos in the area for the past 4 years. I own a house which I rent when not there myself. It is very close to the park areas and has incredible bird watching from the back deck. The back of the house faces a protected area. The closest national park is Cruz del Monte which is a 20 minute walk from the house to the park entrance. http://www.coug.net/cruzdelmonte.

I started birding in my native country, Canada in 1988 and it has been a passion since then. My tropical birding experience started when we moved to the Yucatan in 2003. Since then we have taken 6 extensive birding trips in 7 of the southern states in Mexico. The best birding areas in our immediate vicinity are Dzibilchaltun, Xcambo, Chuburna, Dzilam de Bravo and Aquaparque in Merida. Further afield are Celestun, Chumbec, Uxmal and Rio Lagartos. I have recorded 292 species in the state and 367 species in the peninsula. Within an hour s drive of my home, I can fairly reliably locate several regional endemics and quasi-endemics such as Yucatan Wren, Mexican Sheartail, Yucatan Bobwhite, Yucatan Jay, Yucatan Flycatcher, and Orange Oriole.

Although I have birded the Morelia-Patzcuaro area for over 10 years, I moved February 2008 to Arocutin, a small village on the west side of Lake Patzcuaro. Before this permanent move, I lived in and seriously birded Seattle, WA and Anchorage, AK. My focus this next year will be to understand more about status and distribution of this area's birds. I'd be happy to answer any questions or show you some of my favorite spots.

Birds are my job, my hobby, my passion, and now my goal is to offer you memorable birding experiences in the Yucatan Peninsula.
As a wildlife biologist I had participated on several research and conservation projects, such as bird diversity in natural protected areas, nesting ecology, bioacoustics and behavior research. I am very interested in the sustainable development of local communities, that is why in most of the tours we get support from the people of the community for food, local guidance and lodging.
I am also an official nature guide certified by the Mexican government which makes me improve safety and quality in the service. I am also co-owner of a tour company named Al Aire Libre MX which offers low impact nature experiences.
I can arrange itineraries for every kind of trip; for experts or beginners, for solo travelers or families, from one day tours to multiday tours based in your targets species and places that you are interested to visit in the Yucatan Peninsula.
Guiding rates start at $120 (plus transportation or other expenses necessary for the tour). Please, feel free to ask for full day tours, all inclusive, and multiday tours. A small discount and a souvenir is provided for all Birding Pal Members

Whether you only have a few hours to your disposal or are thinking about doing a longer trip I offer you my professional service as guide, driver or tour planner.
From the coast to the high volcanoes the beautiful states of Colima and Jalisco have a lot to offer to both the casual and the target oriented birder. More than 600 species have been seen in the area and situated on the Central West Coast of Mexico the region is truly an endemic hotspot.
Of all the about 100 endemic species that Mexico hosts, you can see up to 40 only in this restricted area. During a focused one week trip you are likely to see most or all of them, and a total species list around 300 or more can be expected, depending on the time of year.
The number of endemics in the Yucatan peninsula is less, about 15, and you're likely to see fewer species in total compared to the Colima-Jalisco area, but what you don't get in species numbers you'll get in pure magic while birding under the Caribbean sky, in between cenotes and overgrown ruins in an endless ocean of jungle. In a week all endemics are almost guaranteed!
Please visit my website www.naturewatch.dk to check out my prices and to find out more about all the great birds and places you'll experience when you decide to come.
I love birding and have been doing it for almost 30 years. Most of them I have spent in Denmark and Europe, but I have been birding on several continents, and for the last 10 years I've been focusing entirely on Mexico. Identification, listing and photography are my main interests in combination with traveling, and it is always a pleasure to get the opportunity to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with like minded spirits.
I'm based in Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco, and will often be able to do quick trips if you're in town and want to go birding with short notice. Otherwise longer time is normally needed to be able to prepare your trip well. One or the other, you are always welcome to contact me with any question, doubt or comment.
Look forward to hear from you!

From the coast to the high volcanoes the beautiful states of Colima and Jalisco have a lot to offer to both the casual and the target oriented birder. More than 600 species have been seen in the area and situated on the Central West Coast of Mexico the region is truly an endemic hotspot.
Of all the about 100 endemic species that Mexico hosts, you can see up to 40 only in this restricted area. During a focused one week trip you are likely to see most or all of them, and a total species list around 300 or more can be expected, depending on the time of year.
The number of endemics in the Yucatan peninsula is less, about 15, and you're likely to see fewer species in total compared to the Colima-Jalisco area, but what you don't get in species numbers you'll get in pure magic while birding under the Caribbean sky, in between cenotes and overgrown ruins in an endless ocean of jungle. In a week all endemics are almost guaranteed!
Please visit my website www.naturewatch.dk to check out my prices and to find out more about all the great birds and places you'll experience when you decide to come.
I love birding and have been doing it for almost 30 years. Most of them I have spent in Denmark and Europe, but I have been birding on several continents, and for the last 10 years I've been focusing entirely on Mexico. Identification, listing and photography are my main interests in combination with traveling, and it is always a pleasure to get the opportunity to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with like minded spirits.
I'm based in Guadalajara, the capital of Jalisco, and will often be able to do quick trips if you're in town and want to go birding with short notice. Otherwise longer time is normally needed to be able to prepare your trip well. One or the other, you are always welcome to contact me with any question, doubt or comment.
Look forward to hear from you!

I have been guiding in archaeological sites and nature reserves in the Yucatan for the past 10 years. In the last six years I have guided many satisfied birders with the company I work with (MEXICO KAN TOURS) in Sian Ka'an around Muyil.
I am very interested also in mesoamerican archaeology, nature and sustainable living. In my tours I like to give visitors interesting information about the area with birds as the main topic.

I was born in the village of Teotiltlan de Valle, Oaxaca, Mexico. At the age of 8, because of my father's influence, I became interested in nature, birds, and tourism. Ever since then, I have devoted my life to ecology and the wonders of the natural world, especially birds. I have birded and researched birds in Mexico for 13 years. In 2006, I was certified as a federal guide by the Secretary of Tourism in Mexico City. I have also studied archeology and anthropology. In 2008, I received a scholarship from the Long Point Bird Observatory in Ontario, Canada, to advance my birding skills. I worked as a field biologist focusing on the migration of passerines, and I honed my skills as a bird bander. In addition I study bird migration in Mexico, work for the Alamos wild lands alliance and the Navopatia Field station in southern Sonora but I also do private bird guiding, I lead bird-watching trips for passengers on cruise ships that dock at Huatulco, Mexico. I also organize and compile data for the Oaxaca Christmas Bird Count. I speak English and I am available for any trips all over Oaxaca and Chiapas. http://mexico-birding.com/
