In this occasion the trip started with a special touch! You would wonder why? Well mainly because we are staring a new year and because in the edition of this tour our guest were the first couple of Americans and Canadians that start visiting the Bird Island this 2007.
I would like to congratulate these couples of young heart explorers for its first visit to México, To Sinaloa and especially to the Bird Island in Las Glorias México.
The encounter to leave for the Bird Island Tour was at Mr. Moro Hotel Site, at 8:00 A.M.
Then we decided to move to “La Pitahaya Fishing Field” where the panga boat was waiting for us, for leaving to the Adventure. Once we arrived at 8:20 A.M. Hours. Then everyone was getting ready setting their staff up such as Sandals, Sun Protector, Binoculars, Cameras and some other useful things to have fun during the trip.
After that, I gave the whole information and indications about security and about the place that the crew needed to know.
At 8:45 A.M. We were all ready to experience the Bird Watching World at The Magic Coast Of The Sea of Cortez in Las GLorias, Guasave, Sinaloa México.
At 9:45 A.M. We could see our first Bird, getting its flight up, it was a Roseate Spoonbill and from that moment on the trip started getting more and more interesting.
Many of Magnificent Frigate Birds could be seen by all the travelers, who were very specialized persons with Birds Books List, Birds Migration Schedules, Birds Notes and huge lens to appreciate the beauty and simpleness of this sanctuary.
Before arriving to the Bird Island the list had increased a lot: we could admired heerman´s Gulls Ringbills, Neotropic Comerants, Baby Comerants, Ospreys, White Ibis, Crested Caracaras, ´s Gulls Ringbills, Neotropic Comerants, Baby Comerants, Ospreys, White Ibis, Crested Caracaras, Yellow Crowned Night Herons, Brown Pelicans, Great Egrets, Black-Necked Stilts, Juvenile Redish Egrets, Great Blue Herons and some more…

We could find at the Bird Island through our small walk many comerants nides use for breeding by several kinds of species during the year; also old Cactus, some Nopales and Choyas.
At 11:45 A.M. We decided to move to another Island Called “Macapule Island” with its spectacular Solar Energy LightHouse. All the crew could have the chance for collecting Shells, pick caracals and take a walk for exploring the zone.
