The north coast of the Yucatan is kind of remote and there are only a couple Mexican endemics so it was a bit of a last minute decision for us to go. We actually were planning on making a long drive to the interior to see Calakmul which is one of the most remote and least visited of the Mayan ruins. However, the wife was not keen on the 5 hours plus one way drive so instead we switched to the north coast and stayed in Rio Lagartos. We ended up having a great time and best of all was this little gem seen right in the center of town at the feeders the locals had up. The Mexican Sheartail looks kind of like a hummingbird version of Gonzo the muppet in my opinion.
