Snowy Egret catches some breakfast.

An elegant bird, it was hunted to near extinction in the late 1800 as their plumes were popular decoration in women’s hats.

These graceful birds dance along the shores to stir up their prey in the shallow waters.

Today’s resort friend is the Mangrove Swallow.

This little guy shares many physical characteristics as our Violet-green Swallow.

Fun fact: these guys have strong pair bonds and stay together for multiple breeding seasons unlike many bird species.

The Magnificent Frigatebird.

This is female with the white breast, the males have a scarlet throat pouch which inflates during mating season!

Population in decline due to habitat loss of coastal areas, their hunting and breeding sites.

Another uber common friend here at the resort is the Great-tailed Grackle. Caught this little lady playing on the surf 🤎

Took over 3000 bird photos so far and I’ve lost count of how many new birds I’ve seen! So many cool pics to come

The easiest bird to find so far on my trip, the Brown Pelican. These big guys are constantly circling overhead and fishing in the surf.

The Pileated Woodpecker is always a favourite to spend some time with.

I can’t handle this level of cuteness! This little gosling had already mastered its paparazzi poses 🧡

A new Lifer for me!

I heard there were a few Yellow-headed Blackbirds nearby and was lucky enough to see one of them!

Another little peak at the gorgeous Northern Harrier I spent some time with earlier this week. I’ve got about a thousand more photos of him but this one looked like he’s watching me just as closely as I was watching him 😂
