Black-bellied Plover (winter, non-breeding)

I've been reviewing some of my bird photos and am finding some shots I had not posted previously. Here is a black-bellied plover, photographed on a dune overlooking the ocean south of San Felipe, Baja California.

Gray Thrasher

The gray thrasher is one of five birds found only in Baja California. Here one sits atop a cactus near Todos Santos.

Virgin of Izamal

Pilgrims come by the thousands to Izamal, Yucatan, especially on December 8, the day of the Festival of the Virgin of Izamal. Here, hundreds of candles are left in front of a picture of the virgin.

Jaguar and popsicles

A souvenir jaguar carving awaits a buyer in front of a popsicle advertisement, near the ruins of Cobá, Yucatan.

Social Flycatcher?

I believe this is a social flycatcher (it could be a great kiskadee) posing on ruins at Uxmal, in the Yucatan.

Rescued Parrot

Iona Chamberlin has restored a lovely hacienda on the outskirts of Merida, Yucatan, the Hacienda San Pedro Nohpat, and converted it to a bed and breakfast. She also rescues injured parrots. Here is one named Chicky. It may be a yellow-lored parrot.
