I have grown quite fond of a particular Great White Heron that often makes her way through the open lot (the one next to Las Tortugas Condominiums), on her trek to the beach.
She (at least I like to think she's a "she" -- some true birders may know better than I) is so regal - with almost a snobby air about her.
I was pleasantly surprised to see her back this August and got a few shots of her before she flew out of sight and closer to the beach. We've seen her for 3 summers in a row now! And hope to see her return next year!
On another note, we had an unexpected visitor in the yard this week. A small birdie graced us with a visit. He was cute as a button and appeared to have hurt his foot. So, he was using our yard as a resting place to regain his bearings. In a short time, he and his partner flew off again on their way...
However, I can't figure out what this little guy is. I thought he might be a "Grace's Warbler", but the eye markings don't match up. I can't seem to find this guy on any of the Yucatan Bird Websites. Anybody with a guess?
Are you into birdwatching? If so, the Yucatan is a great place to visit! This is a world class Birdwatchers' Destination!! The Yucatan Bird Festival is coming up: November 19-21st!
