During the "arribada," the skies and shores of Oaxaca are alive with the activity of countless birds.⁠
As the turtles come ashore to lay their eggs, a variety of bird species gather in anticipation, creating an interesting scene of life and death... ⁠
⁠
These birds play a crucial role in the ecosystem, scavenging on eggs and hatchlings, which helps maintain the balance of nature. It’s a remarkable display of how interconnected life is on the coast of Oaxaca—a delicate dance between land, sea, and sky.⁠

The Natural Magic of Oaxaca's Coast:
One of the most breathtaking natural phenomena occurs here—the "arribada" of sea turtles. During this event, hundreds to thousands of turtles gather over 3-4 days, coming ashore both day and night to lay their eggs.

Last week at the sanctuary, we were fortunate to witness this extraordinary spectacle. Turtles gracefully emerged from the ocean, made their way up the beach, and dug their nests in the sand. They then laid thousands of eggs, carefully covered them, and returned to the sea—a remarkable dance of life and nature ⁠
The efforts to protect these sanctuaries are crucial for the continued survival of these turtles.

Another monthly bird banding sessions here at MONTE ALBAN, zapotec ruins of Oaxaca⁠

Unique experience to watch sunrise from the top of the ruins and observe birds from so close⁠
The datas collected since over a year have already given amazing datas, new species for the area that weren't seen before but captured in the nets. ⁠
⁠
Last monday the Worm-eating Warbler was banded for the first time at this station, very rare to find in the central valleys of Oaxaca. As well as the Slate-blue Seedeater also new in the area... More and more datas are collected thanks to this type of banding site, efforts by the beautiful team for so many years! BRAVO!! ⁠

The monthly bird banding sessions at the Etnobotanical Garden of Oaxaca have been running since more than 22 years by . ⁠
⁠
Last sunday again some amazing encounters with this magnificent Cooper's Hawk. Who would have thought to band a hawk right in the middle of the town! ⁠
Beautiful memories for all the participants to observe it from so close.⁠
⁠
⁠
Plus a LONGEVITY RECORD for the Great Kiskadee!! A recapture of a banded bird gives us a period of time from the date of first capture to recapture. in this case 7 years and 1 month. ⁠
⁠
This is possible only thanks to this type of banding site, efforts by the beautiful team for so many years! BRAVO!! ⁠
