We stayed in the Palapa room at Ignacio Springs B&B, which is right on the water. In the palms above our room were at least 7 Night Herons. I
believe that they were all juveniles because of their coloring.
Is this little guy cute or what

This is kinda fuzzy but you can see 3 or 4 of them
When they left the palms at sunset, they made the most unusual sound. It sounded like a dog saying yuck, yuck. It was my new bird song of the trip.
Now I can identify them by their call.

Anyone ID this one?

There is an osprey nest next to the empty lot between Los Caracoles(stopped in to meet Serenita but she was in Ensenada:no and Malarrimo. I always walk the dogs here and almost always get a shot of an
osprey. It was in the same parking lot that a few years back an osprey dropped a fish almost on my head.

Judy, the hawk on the cardon is probably a Red Tail (if I'm seeing his back)Martyman - 2-6-2008 at 05:30 PM
I believe the bird on the palm is a green heron.
Nice shots!!Skipjack Joe - 2-6-2008 at 06:05 PM
