BillB emailed this to me to post, and share with you all.

Thanks David! For some reason, I can't seem to post pics here... operator error I am sure.

De nada amigo...

The original email pic was about 84 kb... I just reduced the file size to less than 50 kb... in Microsoft Picture It Express (came with my Widows XP, I presume)...

Someday I will figure out how to 'optimize' the photos to under 50 kb, with a special program... that I have to learn to use... !

Anyway, that is a great photo... Perhaps we should post it over on Gregorio's Baja Birding Forum? (link to it is listed at http://vivabaja.com/davidsmessage.html )

Thanks David

I love seeing this kind thing posted on the board . It's a good reminder that there's more to baja than killing fish , getting drunk and raising hell. We absolutely need to instill in as many people as possible all the little yet very important things that exist there- and that its worth protecting now so it will be there for generations that are coming.


Kudos to BillB for the picture.

Am I to believe that killing fish, getting drunk and raising hell are 'bad' things?...:?: Visitors engaging in these activities, good or bad, have 'enriched' the coffers of many Mexicans and their familys over the years...Now having said that, I also believe some moderation might be in order during those times.

I also enjoy the real 'wild life' in Baja as shown above BillB - there's always something new to see and explore.
