Once in a while would you like to leave the bustling excitement of Centro behind and just drift on the water away from everyone, just you and the white egrets and vermillion flycatchers and roseated spoonbills and woodstorks and herons and an occasional pelican?

Bring your camera and a picnic lunch and relax, occasionally exerting yourself with a few paddles around the bend to explore the next harbor of the presa. This is another side of living in San Miguel de Allende that not many experience. Many expats reminisce longingly about days on the water in their home towns, not realizing that they can recreate that experience a few minutes from Centro.

In celebration of our 45th anniversary, Audubon is offering a special gift to new and renewing members: a unique ceramic vermilion flycatcher, specially made by artisans in Dolores Hildago, that may be used to decorate your home or garden.

It is our small way of saying thank you for your support and to visually remind you of the positive environmental causes you help to support.

On July 22nd Audubon de Mexico celebrated our 45th anniversary -45 years of protecting and celebrating the flora and fauna of San Miguel and the surrounding countryside – and launched our campaign "45 Years, 450 Members, 450,000 Pesos" to raise funds for local projects that address critical environmental issues.
