Tips for Birding

If you don't mind walking on cobblestone streets the mile to Nogueras from Comala, you will often be rewarded with good birding amid huge, spreading fig, parota, and tamarind trees that shade the coffee underneath. Watch for West Mexican Chachalaca (much easier heard than seen!), Orange-fronted Parakeet, Squirrel Cuckoo, Lineated Woodpecker, and Grayish Saltator among others.

Even if you don't walk to Nogueras, there is good birding along roads leading out of it.  As you enter town, there is a fork in the road with a fountain in the middle. Go right at the fork and continue down a wooded hill past the back of the eco-park. After crossing the small bridge, keep right at the forks to a quiet but bumpy rock and dirt road that continues for about one mile. Banded Quail, Gray Hawk, Squirrel Cuckoo, Russet-crowned Motmot, Golden-cheeked Woodpecker, Gray-breasted Martin, and numerous finches and sparrows can found along this road.
