Audubon's annual bird count involves thousands of novice and professional birding volunteers across North, Central and South America. The 2008-2009 count is the 109th, the longest running wildlife census anywhere.
These counts take place around Christmas, when weather conditions are uninviting across much of the United States and Canada. Fair-weather birders from the north might consider joining the count in balmy Mazatlan, the "Pearl of the Pacific" resort destination just 750 miles south of Arizona.
Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico
Mazatlan is perfectly situated on the coast of Mexico, where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean. Sunshine is abundant year-round and soft trade winds, golden beaches and warm weather make this a premier destination for tourists around the world. Birders are also attracted to Mazatlan, especially for the many endemic species found in the surrounding area, and 2009 marked the first Mazatlan Bird Festival, co-sponsored by Sendero Mexico and Pro Natura Noroeste.
