Excerpt from Los Cabos Magazine  Issue 34, Fall 2013.

The San José del Cabo Estuary, located in the southern end of Baja California Sur is a freshwater wetland of great importance for migratory and shorebirds due to the scarcity of bodies of water in the Baja California Peninsula. Its vegetation marks a tropical riverine environment, unique in the desert region of the Cape district. In this ecosystem inhabits the Belding Mask or Peninsular Mascarita (Geothlypis beldingi), a bird endemic to the oases of Baja California Sur. We currently carry out projects for the training and promotion of aviturismo in the estuary, and population monitoring of this species.
