birds. In addition to numerous resident and migratory
bird populations including the Boat-billed Heron,
Red-billed Pigeon, Orange-fronted Parakeet, American
Stork, and Roseate Spoonbill, the mangrove hosts the
second largest population of the American crocodile along
the coast of Jalisco. Opportunities also abound to view
other mammalian life such as the White-tailed Coati and
the Greater Fishing Bat. |
