2009-04-30   Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo (Roo), Mexico

Subspecies: pallidiventris
Pair with chick. Found it in an area close to the hotels and more clearing here were under way. Sad! The only chachalaca on the northern Yucatán. Otherwise best distinguished by the uniform gray brown under side.

The only chachalaca on the gulf coast. There are several subspecies, but I'm not sure what separates them.

Subspecies: vetula
Adult. Strangely enough have only registered a few of this normally very vocal species. Perhaps depending of season?


Happy Birding
