I just returned (last night) from a week in Mexico.  Can you
imagine.... sitting poolside, wearing only my binoculars (CO beach
resort), with a Pina Colada and Peterson's Guide to Mexican Birds
within easy reach, I observed the following:

Osprey
Semipalmated Plover
Hooded Oriole
Brown Pelican
Magnificant Frigatebird
Social Flycatcher
Brown Boobie
Red Vented WP
Tropical Mockingbird
Great Kiskadee
Yellowcrowned Night Heron
Least Sandpiper
Ruddy Turnstone
Spotted Sandpiper
Great White Heron
Groove Billed Ani
Yellow Throated Warbler
White Rumped sandpiper
Mangrove Warbler
Tropical Kingbird
Black Bellied Plover

In order to see a Plain Chachacara, Clay Colored Robin and Great
Tailed Grackle I had to get dressed and visit the Jardin Botanica in
Puerto Morales.  (spider monkeys and trantulas were a bonus!).

Lots of warblers and other birds I didnt get a good enough of a look
at to ID.

It's a drag being home!

cheers
