Endemic. Adults. 3 of the 5 that hang out at the very top of La Cumbre. Must be the easiest place to see this species in Mexico. Endemic |

Endemic. 1cy. Newly fledged. Or perhaps dropped from the nest by accident. The fact was that it was sitting very exposed to the worlds dangers, and no wonder why the parent bird, 1050, was very upset by my presence. Endemic |

Endemic. Adult. Here in the northern part of the distribution range. Rather common this day. The sun-shadow effect in the black parts very marked. Normally not at species that easily approached, but with a fledgeling within the reach of the intruder, where was something to fight for. Endemic |
