Chiapas and Oaxaca, Mexico July 2015 |
From July 11-23, 2015, Sheridan and I spent four days in the central Chiapas area as part of the GBNA biennial meeting, and then a week in south/central Oaxaca as part of a private group, ably organized and lead by Michael Retter.
These three Black Storm-Petrels Oceanodroma (Halocyptena) melania were some of the 40+ birds seen near the boat on our Pelagic out of Huatulco, Oaxaca. It is hard to determine how many sightings involved repeat birds, so I have only incuded three that I am confident are separate individuals:
1)
2)
