YOUNG BIRDERS—A Birder’s Paradise … Oaxaca, Mexico
I visited the Mexican state of Oaxaca for a birding trip from January 11th to January 17th, 2019. Oaxaca is located southeast of Mexico City, and is the 5th largest Mexican state. It is bisected by the Sierra Madre Mountain range, which creates a continental divide between the Atlantic Slope to the north and the Pacific Slope to the south.
