Shipstern Nature Reserve is a private reserve. The main focus here is butterflies but the birding can be good. On my one visit to the reserve were were almost denied entry because all the guides were out, but we were able to talk our way into going without a guide.
Several Yucatan endemics should be found here: Orange Oriole, Yucatan Jay, Yucatan Vireo, and Yucatan Nightjar
