Cozumel is known as 'The Island of Swallows'
Cozumelis known as the "Island of the swallows" because its name is derived from the ancient Maya words Cuzum (swallow) and Lumil (land of), forming Cuzamil, which translates to "Land or Place of the Swallows".
The most common swallow in Cozumel is the Mangrove Swallow (Tachycineta albilinea), which I was unfortunately unable to photograph.
