This friendly buddy is a big star, especially on Isabel Island and some parts of the Mexican Pacific, the males’ blue paws are their best ally for the reproduction of this unique bird.
2) Roseate Spoonbill (Platalea ajaja)

The pretty cousin of herons, proudly displays its fantastic pink plumage as it strolls through the estuaries and mangroves of San Blas, owes its name to the shape of its singular beak, with which it filters its food.
3) Boat-billed Heron (Cochlearius cochlearius)

A symbol of this beautiful port, although it is a bit shy, the presence of this important bird is considered an indicator to monitor problems in their environment.
4) Magnificent Frigate (Fregata magnificens)

The elegant frigate offers a great show during mating, as males show their impressive deep red color to catch the attention of coveted females.
5) American Oystercatcher (Haematopus palliatus)

When you visit the peaceful fishing village of Boca del Asadero, you can appreciate the American oystercatcher, who naturally feeds on oysters and crabs that it opens without problems, thanks to its long orange beak.
If you want to learn the best routes for bird watching, we recommend reading this post about the must-see boat rides available around the port.
