6:30 am April 20 I have reviewed and labelled my iPhotos for February 15. This entry will chronicle the birdwatching activities. |
The main goal today was to visit the Mayan ruins at Dzibilchaltun. However we did engage in some bird watching at the entrance to the site, as well as at a bird watching tower on the highway near Chicxulub.
Here are a few digital enlargements:
White-winged Dove 
Red-bellied Woodpecker 
Hooded Oriole 
Magnolia Warbler
