At a resort in the Yucatan, my wife sat at the beach while I sat in a composting area and saw this Red-billed Pigeon. #birdphotography #birdsofmexico

A small greyish bird with a dusting of yellow feathers across its face, shoulders, and base of the tail stands in profile on a flower head made up of tightly compressed tubular yellow flowers. Some of the yellow flowers have yellow anthers standing above the head, dusting the bird with yellow pollen. The bird is bending down to examine the flowers for bugs. All is set against a green of palm fronds.

A gulp of Cormorants lines up and reports for duty in Nuevo Nayarit. And yes... a flock of Cormorants is technically referred to as a "gulp." Fun fact!

This Great Egret had the time of its life as it danced like nobody was watching. It jumped, bobbed, and swooped all over. I thought it might be a courtship ritual, but there weren't any nearby egrets. Maybe it was just cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs! 😊

I caught this stunning White-faced Ibis mid-landing at the San Jose del Cabo estuary, just as the light hit at the perfect angle. Its feathers shimmered in unreal shades of emerald, bronze, and silver.

After a ton of patience and a little luck, I captured a clean shot of a Least Tern in flight as it soared over the San Jose del Cabo estuary. These little guys move FAST and erratically, like swallows.

A Least Tern does a quick roll after snatching its prey from the San Jose del Cabo estuary. These little guys move FAST! Notice the bands on its legs... common for many species in the area.

The White-faced Ibis may look dark at first glance, but catch it in just the right sunlight and its feathers explode with iridescent greens, purples, silvers, and bronzes.
