Birdwatching, etc.

Last week we saw our first Robin here at Savage Trailer Park in Lo de Marcos.  It is called a Rufous Backed Robin. The song is similar to the American Robin we see in Ontario.

 Most evenings a flock of Hooded Orioles gather in the trees next to our patio.  They are quite different from the Baltimore Orioles that visit our yard at home.

Sitting at our dinette having a morning coffee we watch the Painted Buntings busy feeding on the seeds of grasses in the site beside our motorhome. 

The pale green bird in this photo is the female Painted Bunting.  We usually see 5 or more females to 1 male

One day 2 Coots flew over from the pond next door.  They were walking around the patio and along the cement wall behind our motorhome.  They had no fear of us and let us come within a few feet of them.

Here are a few other photos we've taken recently:

This plant is about 5' tall and the blossom is about 6".  Located in the garden at El Caracol where Bev takes morning stretch classes.
