Birds, Boats and Bugs
We haven't been doing too much except hanging out relaxing. We went into town yesterday and had breakfast with the group from our homeowners church. Did a little visiting and then went for groceries.
Yesterday was a bad day for the wildlife here, two of the four cats came home with catches. One had a bird and one had a lizard. I know that this is instinctive behavior for them and that there is nothing that we can do about it; but that doesn't stop us from wishing that they wouldn't do it.
There are lots of birds around here, along with lots of bugs, which for me means lots of mosquito bites. UGH!! I have been bitten more here than in a whole year in Guaymas.
Here is a picture of a pretty red bird that looks somewhat like a cardinal to me.
The other day a large boat passed by on its way somewhere. As you can see it is a fair size.
I have been trying to get a picture of the bat rays when they jump out of the water; but so far haven't been successful. They are up and down so quick it is hard to catch them, and of course they don't jump in the same place twice.
We are getting closer to going home, 16 days left here before we head back to Guaymas.

I think that the bird that you picture is a cardinal (northern cardinal) -- they are resident breeders in much of central Mexico, and Baja Sur and the Yucatan peninsula.
