Seen Green Violetear in Mexico and Costa Rica? But, birds in eastern Mexico have even more blue and are now their own species so Lesson’s Motmot it is. Cabanis’s Ground-Sparrow.

In a thorn forest, as in some other situations, protection can be vital. Protection, for birds, can be a very different thing than it is for us. We humans need protection from thorns, while for birds, thorns often provide protection. Of course, the sparrows can’t have the thorn forest entirely to themselves.

The avocado is, after all, one of many food plants that originated in central Mexico. The state is, after all, Mexico’s fourth-poorest state. S triped-headed Sparrows. Rusty-crowned Ground-Sparrows.

Kills in Canada, Alaska and Mexico are not included in the count. Further, the crane take in Mexico is a free-for-all: neither regulated nor recorded.
