The Striated Heron

Lurking among the mangrove roots, this heron is busy searching for a meal.

Marine Iguana, Brown Pelican, and Striated Heron

I continue to be fascinated by the appearance of these iguana. Skin like armour, clawed feet, and that ridge of spines allong the back. So cool.

A Finch, an Iguana, and a Warbler

Unsurprisingly, we find a medium ground finch perched atop a cactus.

Into the Wetlands

It probably seems odd that we are taking walk to see the wetland and I start with photo of a cactus. Yet, here we are.

A Booby and Pelicans

From the one photo above, it can be hard to tell just what this booby is doing. Is he landing (badly) or taking-off? Turns out, this is a launch from sitting in the water.

Pelicans and a Booby

The birds were busy fishing on this afternoon. This pelican is just making the turn to start his dive.

Meanwhile, Back on the beach...

Along the shore, there is almost always birds feeding. This brown pelican has spied something tasty in the ocean.
