And although this trip is not about shopping, you will have a hard time passing up incredible values on fabrics, clothing, leather goods, pottery, and carved figures. All the while, we will be sampling the local flavors of food and beverages in a very different culture.

CRRIFS – We are much more than turtles! |
CRRIFS has been very busy attending to the injured wildlife found on our beaches and lands. We have been rescuing a large number of pelicans, as it is their breeding season. We are in need of extra-large dog kennels in which to house them as they heal from their injuries.Fishing & Birding Reports
Fishing Report
The bottomfishing has seemed to have been slow, so putting on some real meat was appreciated. There have been very few boats fishing in close, but a few more ventured out to the Island. The fishing was fair to good there at times for both sides of the Island both trolling and jigging. I saw a few ballyhoo and a big Hammerhead, but the winds and tides have held off the warmer water. Shorelines have been stirred up and I haven’t caught a corvina yet. There’s lots of bait around and the yellowtail bite should hold through the full moon. by Bryan Replogle, Team Margarita Sportfishing, repsilon@aol.com |
Birding Report
We had 11 for our Thursday outing including my precious 13 year old granddaughter. I have not turned her into a birder yet but she was a good sport about coming and a great spotter with those young eyes. We went out to the Ojo de Agua watering hole which has been consistently birdy all season. We had three species of warblers: Black-throated Gray, Orange-crowned, and Nashville. There were lots of Black Vultures, Ash-throated Flycatchers and one Western Flycatcher. There seem to be six Northern Cardinals living out there and we saw all of them. In all we had 24 species. I left early as my granddaughter had reached her limit and needed to be fed. Nancy Norton took over and the group later went for lunch at Las Capitanas Cocina Económica. The Bird of the Week is the Rufous-backed Robin which a couple of us spotted at the Country Club pond for only the second time this season. The Rufous-backed is endemic to Mexico. This means found only in Mexico, and only in the western and central areas of the country. There are rare sightings in Arizona but not enough for Allaboutbirds.org to add it to their website. This is a bird that range maps say is not found in our area. However, we know from past sightings in various years that it is, indeed, here although not seen often. Whether it lives here and is a skulker or only visits on occasion, we do not know. I suspect that some birds visit us from the mountains to the east where they can be found year round. Its Spanish name in Mexico is the Mirlo Dorso Canela. It is more secretive than its relative, the American Robin, and tends to stay hidden in brush. Our Rufous-backed Robin appeared from the brush and came down to the edge of the pond for a drink. It is pretty easy to identify as it is American Robin size and the rusty colored back stands out as does the white throat with black streaks. The bill is bright yellow. The birding group will meet this coming Thursday, April 18 at 8:00am at the Mariscos Esterito Cafe located at the end of San Carlos Bay near the fish camp and across from the Red Cross station. You do not need to be an experienced birder to join our group. If you do not know anything except that you want to know more, our group will help you learn. If you are an experienced birder and just want to know other birders, then join us and share your knowledge. Please bring your water, sun and insect protection, and a chair. And your binoculars, of course. The outing will last until about 11:00am and we go out to lunch afterwards. If you have any questions, sightings to share, or comments, please feel free to contact me at maryltannehill@yahoo.com. I wish you happy birding wherever you are. by Mary Tannehill |
The winds are up, but you don’t need to go far. We started to hit them at the Seamounts all within a mile of the harbor. Some fish are pushing 20 pounds too. There was a bit of seaweed at times, but trolling on all sizes worked. It’s nice to be able to do well on four hour trips.
