Six Words and Sunday Shadows....November 22-23, 2014


Our wild turkeys have no fear


However this bird will be dinner
While vacationing in Mexico we rode a little
bus with a family and their Christmas dinner.
This wild bird is a Cachalaca. They are taking
it home to feed it corn, bread and bananas
until Christmas eve.  I felt sorry for it, however
there's really no difference to our Thanksgiving Turkey 
or a traditional English Christmas Goose. Other than
this family truly knows where their dinner comes from.

Here's more INFO about this bird.
And here are the links to Six Words
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

One day on the playa....

Enjoy!!


West Mexican Chachalaca



Mexican Tanager


There are about 7 crocodiles living in a small river
that empties into Zihuatanejo's bay.


This bird has to be a Green Heron...


Three Sandpipers...


Mexican Grackle
Probably my favorite to watch since they
are so intelligent and gregarious. 



Minimalist photo of the day...
It was only 3:30pm...but seemed
later as the weather was so dark.
