San Carlos Fishing Report

Some good fishing is being had in San Carlos. There is definitely some world-class yellowtail action happening at the Island in the afternoons. You might be coming home at sunset and cleaning fish into the next day, but it should be worth it.

There was plenty of action in close mid-week, but I haven’t heard of many reports lately. Some massive boils were around Deer Island, but I think barracuda and other small predators have taken over. I saw a few photos of large yellowtail caught from shore down around Guaymas. The yellowtail are around, and some snapper and cabrilla are in close too.

The weather has continued to be calm and warm. I wouldn’t be surprised if we start to see Dorado within a week. We saw a few Humpbacks roaming around last week, along with lots of dolphin. I spotted many triggerfish and one big corvina while snorkeling. Trolling and jigging worked at the Island, but the afternoon popper bite has been phenomenal. It has been so good that you will appreciate not catching too many.

Birding Report

Hola Dear Birding Enthusiasts,

We had 8 for our outing on the 19th and headed to the Esterito Road watering hole which is getting increasingly smaller. For bird watching, this is a good thing (until the water disappears) because it consolidates the birds into a smaller area for viewing. We were hoping to see the Rose-breasted Grosbeak which a couple of us had seen on March 16th and 18th. That didn’t happen but it was a glorious day anyway. The weather was warm but with a cooling breeze and the birds were plentiful. We had 21 species including the female Painted Bunting, the Rufous Hummingbird, male and female Common Yellowthroats, and almost non-stop views of the beautiful male and female Lazuli Buntings. Besides the Orange-crowned Warbler which has been delightfully common this winter, we also had a good view of the striking MacGillivray’s Warbler. We ended the day at the Cactus Garden restaurant.

My Bird of the Week is that beautiful Rose-breasted Grosbeak I mentioned earlier (pictured left). If you drew a line vertically through the US and Mexico, this bird would be on the eastern side. So, to see it this far west is a rarity. We saw it in 2018 and then not until December of 2025. The first time we only saw the female and from a great distance. These last times we had the beautiful male and he gave us good looks so I have a photo to share. The Rose-breasted Grosbeak is a medium-sized finch but with a much larger seed-eating bill.

It is closely related to the Black-headed Grosbeak (pictured right) which is an uncommon treat here but not considered rare. Since I just saw the Black-headed a couple of days ago, I am including photos of both for comparison. In general, the Black-headed Grosbeak is in the west and the Rose-breasted is in the eastern part of the US. When the two species find themselves in the same area (like the midwest of the US), they will often hybridize. Both the male and female Rose-breasted sing and both share incubation, brooding, and feeding duties at the nest according to Birdsna.org. The song is somewhat similar to that of the American Robin.

It primarily lives in mixed forests and thickets but will take advantage of food to be found in parks and gardens of humans. So much so that, Birdsna.org says, “Historically, the species has been considered both a pest, due to its fondness for tree buds, flowers, cultivated peas and fruits, and a beneficial species, as it eats potato beetle larvae, scale insects, and other insects injurious to crops.” Here we consider it a rare delight.

The birding group will meet this coming Thursday, March 26 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. Outings last until around 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.
