Birding Site Guide

These sites are close to the huge city of Monterrey and can be visited in a day trip from there. It is best to have your own transport but you can get there on public transport. Getting to the High-rise is difficult though. Take any bus to El Cercado and get off there. Then take a local bus from near the plaza to Cola de Caballo. From there you can carry on walking up (good birding) and try to hitch. Traffic is light but it is possible. The site guide has excellent maps and instructions. The Maroon-fronted Parrots are not too difficult to see but they are very far away. A scope would be very useful. Presa Rodrigo Gomez is a reservoir back at the highway with some waterbirds. 61 Species including 23 lifers.
