Photo of dark silhouette of a tall, leggy bird (a heron) standing in the ocean at dusk. The crests of shallow waves gleam bright white and the water is a study in grays.
Baja California in Mexico is lovely. I just finished a low tide beach walk, with a lot of time lurking in the shallows to let the birds get used to me.
Scenes like this help me a lot, and i think I will paint it tomorrow.

Three Gray-barred Wrens perch together in Morelos, Mexico. Two were preening one another before the third crashed the party.
Three Gray-barred Wrens in Morelos, south of Mexico City. More from these three when I get home to my workstation.

This Hooded Oriole earned some serious street cred as it defended its stretch of razor wire in San Jose del Cabo.

A gulp of Cormorants lines up and reports for duty in Nuevo Nayarit. And yes... a flock of Cormorants is technically referred to as a "gulp." Fun fact!

A Roseate Spoonbill tiptoes through the water, trying to go unnoticed among flocks of gulls, terns, and egrets in Nuevo Nayarit.

This Great Egret had the time of its life as it danced like nobody was watching. It jumped, bobbed, and swooped all over. I thought it might be a courtship ritual, but there weren't any nearby egrets. Maybe it was just cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs! 😊

I caught this stunning White-faced Ibis mid-landing at the San Jose del Cabo estuary, just as the light hit at the perfect angle. Its feathers shimmered in unreal shades of emerald, bronze, and silver.

An Osprey soars through the amber sky, with eyes locked and talons poised, hunting for the day's last meal before sun sets in San Jose del Cabo.

White-faced Ibises fly back to their roosts as the sun sets over San José del Cabo. Hard to miss those silhouettes against a sky like this!

After a ton of patience and a little luck, I captured a clean shot of a Least Tern in flight as it soared over the San Jose del Cabo estuary. These little guys move FAST and erratically, like swallows.

A Least Tern does a quick roll after snatching its prey from the San Jose del Cabo estuary. These little guys move FAST! Notice the bands on its legs... common for many species in the area.

A little fish is about to meet its ultimate fate as it slides down the gullet of a big Brown Pelican in San Jose del Cabo.

The White-faced Ibis may look dark at first glance, but catch it in just the right sunlight and its feathers explode with iridescent greens, purples, silvers, and bronzes.
