Yucatan, Mexico

Here are a few from the Yucatan. I drove down from my home in Texas a couple of months ago.
I was amazed at the birds and how easy they were to photograph.

wow Gary- that's quite a spread. makes me want to go to Mexico. well done

A nice collection, for sure; well done.

Thanks guys, I was a little worried about driving down there. Had one little hassle at a toll booth. But, I made it threw no sweat. Now that I know the ropes. I am planing on heading back in a few months. GREAT people and a wonderful place to photograph birds.
Very highly recommended by me.

Awesome set Gary.

Great set very clean shots congrats

Nice shots. I was in Quintana Roo and Yucatan, mostly Quintana Roo. I went for the ruins and had a great time.

Great looking collection.

Thanks for the comments.
CheleA, I went to Palenque first. Stayed a week at the ruins there. Actually the birding was great. But, they wanted $250 dollars to bring in a DSLR and big lens? So, no bird pics from there... LOL
Took my point and shoot in and got some nice pics of the ruins... Beautiful place

Nice collection of birds!

I saw a similar sign at Uxmal ruins. I only had a Canon 70-200F4 and nobody said anything. No big deal, I didn't see any birds -- big or small. I was lucky enough to go to Tulum, Coba, Chitchen Itza, and Uxmal. Uxmal was my favorite by far. And to top it off, Uxmal was practically empty and we had stormy weather which made for nice and interesting skies!

Thanks for sharing these Gary, outstanding work as always. That Wood Rail looks like a cross between our Purple Gallinule and Clapper Rail, mostly Clapper but hints of a Gallinule.

With fall finally here I'm hoping to catch a few Kingfishers myself.

Great set !!

Great series!

fantastic images...well done!
