Opis
Ek Balam is an interesting and fairly recently discovered archaeological site on the Yucatan peninsula. The ruins are surrounded by an extensive lowland jungle. This ancient Maya city may not be as famous as the Chichen Itza archaeological site (56 km northeast), but the Mayan ruins of Ek Balam attract far fewer tourists, are much quieter and the birding is better. Looking out over the forest from the top of the temples and walking the quiet outer trails of the site, the birding is relaxed and rewarding. Especially the trails behind the highest temple were rich in birds (marked with stars on the map).
Among the birds you can encounter are in Ek Ballam are Yellow-backed Oriole, Yellow-tailed Oriole, Green Jay, Yucatan Jay, Lesson's Motmot, Turquoise-browed Motmot, Yucatan Woodpecker, Rufous-browed Peppershrike, Rose-throated Becard, Northern Rough-winged Swallow, Summer Tanager, Tennessee Warbler and Indigo Bunting.
