    American Flamingo
    
    Along the northern & western coasts of the Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, there are thousands of American Flamingos.
    They nest in the late spring and summer in and near the Rio Lagartos Special Biosphere Reserve. Many of them spend the winter a couple hundred kilometers to the west, as the flamingo would fly, at the Rio Celestun Special Biosphere Reserve.
    
    The Mexican population of the American Flamingo is considered fairly healthy, having risen from a low of between 8,000 and 12,000 individuals in the 1970s (when the Rio Lagartos & Rio Celestun Reserves were created), to about 26,000 birds in the mid-1980s. Hurricane Gibert, in 1988, was a setback to this population growth, but the flamingos have since recovered.

     The northern Yucatan population of the Mexican Sheartail is found exclusively in a narrow coastal strip, only about one kilometer wide, mainly between mangroves and tropical deciduous forest. It has also been found to breed in gardens.
     The Veracruz population occurs in undisturbed, dry deciduous forest and overgrazed habitats at about 25 kilometers inland.
     
     The Mexican Sheartail has been observed feeding at flowers of Ipomoea, Justicia, and Helicteres guazumaefolia, and its diet is supplemented by small anthropods. The bird is often close to the ground.
     
     In the northern Yucatan, nesting takes place August-April, with recently fledged young reported in February and March.
