No worries. We have an extensive library of books on flora and fauna terrestial and marine of Baja and one of them had said that was fact and it
always stuck with me especially when I first went there and explored the place in a kayak. It has recently been brought to my attention (148,000
results 0.27 seconds) that the Red Mangrove 'Rhizophora mangle' has been positively identified in a small area in Fort Matanzas National Monument in
St. Johns County, Florida by some biologists from Florida and Georgia. They wrote a paper on it.

I shall now forever reference Estero Coyote as the location of the 'northernmost representatives of mangroves on the Pacific Coast of North America'.

We have visited Estero Coyote several times and once in February we experienced one of the coldest nights ever camping on the beach in Baja but were
rewarded with world class birdwatching. Flocks of American (Mexican?) Pelicans in the dozens, a group of curlews in the hundreds, and about 20 other
species we ID'd. The beachcombing and shelling was great and a walk along the entrance of the estuary on the incoming tide found Pacific White Sided
Dolphins rushing in for a look see. Good times.

I saw half a sea lion there on the beach. Looks like Jaws had a bite to eat. Or maybe it was Willie.

The village of La Bocana (the 'Mouth' of the lagoon) is just about straight across (west) from Campo Rene (not shown, but on that little point on the
south side of the estero). La Bocana village is at the north end of the lagoon... making Estero El Coyote a bit north of the La Bocana lagoon, as
Whistler said.

I stand corrected I looked on Google and Estero coyote is slightly north. I was thrown off by the fact that when you drive from Campo Rene to Asuncion
you go north and on your way you go past La Bocana.
I used to always tell people that Lake Tahoe was west of Los Angelas Had to pull out maps to prove it. I believe its even west of Santa Barbara

It's disorienting for sure. At Coyote you feel you're looking west.
