México is host to about 1,000 species of birds, of 9,000 existing in the world. In these pages you will find data and pictures on over 70% of them, from the collection at the Museum of Mexican birds

Aquila chrysaetos/Golden Eagle/águila real
The Aztecs built Tenochtitlán in the site where they found a Golden Eagle eating a snake, atop a cactus tree. This image is the symbol of México and the majestic bird its national symbol, not the crested caracara, as some believe.

The MUSAVE is a not-for-profit organization that aims to help the cause of wildlife conservation thru education about the birds and their life. These pages are a volunteer effort done by friends of the birds and the MUSAVE. Enjoy your visit and we hope to see you soon -- physically -- here in sunny Saltillo! Please feel free to send your comments to our web-footed master. Remember, English is not our native language.
