Description:
Maroon-fronted Parrot near San Isidro, Nuevo Leon, Mexico 2 September 1989 This is one of my favorite memories of birding Mexico in the 80s and 90s. The area for the Maroon-fronted Parrots is a very tough 2 hour + climb up rugged trails, and then your chance of seeing the birds is small. The light for photography is terrible because you are up against a 2000 foot tall sheer cliff and your visibility is only possible one direction. You can hear the parrots, but seeing them is a challenge. There are a few shots of this magnificent bird here, but they are not good. Just the best I could do under the circumstances. I'd love to go back, but unless and until this area of Mexico settles down again, that will remain a dream.
