Also, Steve Shunk, a birder from Central Oregon who wrote the Peterson
Reference Guide to Woodpeckers, now lives just south of Puerto Vallarta.
He is based out of Rancho Primavera, which is itself a birding
destination. He also offers tour services. See here:

Both great options.
Have a great trip!
Thanks,
