    The most easily seen of the Cozumel endemics.
    I didn't get a photo of the wren, and missed the vireo altogether.
    The thrasher may be extinct already...     Posted 7 years ago

      Thanks! It's quite odd how many endemics Cozumel has, considering how close to the mainland it is. But you won't hear birders complaining about that! :-) Posted 7 years ago
