Yesterday my friends Lach, Becky and I took a late afternoon boat ride through the beautiful mangrove forest ecological preserve in La Manzanilla, Mexico to view dozens of bird species as well as the iguanas and crocodiles. ( Click on any photo to enlarge them all:)
The End!!!
This certainly qualified as entertainment!

I did some culling after you viewed the photos, Cee. I fell asleep while uploading these and didn’t realize some near duplicates had slipped thorough. Excuses, excuses.

Remember the boat ride you, Jim, and I took all those years ago in Mexico? As I recall, we never saw a bird.

How can I forget the Coyuga Lagoon? Most of the ride was through back yards. We did see plenty of chickens and roosters, as I recall. I also recall that we both had nylons on under our slacks! It wasn’t our most perfect day. Jim never got off the boat again for the rest of the cruise.

We went at the wrong time of the day. They needed to take us near sunrise or sunset. When the birds are leaving or returning.

the guide rowed. No motors. Very calm. Only three of us in the boat other than the young guide. Very peaceful.

I miss wintering in Florida. I always went to the rookery photographing the migrating birds.

Did they have pretty much the same birds as I photographed here?
