Slow Road South

This is Chesty, my birding buddy for 12 great years. Will miss you buddy!

Hi, I’m Gary — a birder and slow traveler currently making my way through Oaxaca, with no real plan for how long I’ll stay or where I’ll go next. This site is where I’m keeping track of it all: the birds I find, the places that surprise me, and the small moments in between. Expect trip notes, species spotlights, and photos as I wander — updated whenever the road (or the birds) give me something worth sharing.
