| Church in the Puebla of Cajititlan |
This area is a mecca for migrating birds. We will soon get a bird book to identify these amazing birds, in the mean time I leave it to you our friends. The area we went to is the Ribera de Cajititlan and the town of Cajititlan. Lee was hoping to have a launch get us closer to the birds, but the launches for hire stay well away from the bird areas' due to shallow water and the vegetation that would mess up a boats propellers. Instead, we took a walk away from the pier to get closer at the birds. We came across some lounging fishermen and Lee asked if one of them would row us out in their boat closer to the birds for me to take pictures. They were all happy to help. I believe they all pitched in to help me board from the lakes edge and kept me out of the water. Sometimes having to rely on the cane is not convenient.

Map of the area, wish I could tag where it is we live. It is behind
the red dot(Penafil) to the left of the lake. |
 |
They are so graceful in flight
|
The birds are out of this world amazing up close. Feathers that are so fine, I wonder how they fly. The birds are not very tolerant of humans or their noises. So, we weren't able to get as close as I had wished.(but I won't complain)
 |
Black birds with bright yellow hoods, and raven like black birds. The swarming is eerie.
|
So enjoy and tag the true identity if you can.

| Ibis |
This Ibis is sitting/standing/perching (I don't know the correct terminology) upon what used to be the patio and playground of somebodies abandoned Casa. We don't know what caused the massive permanent flooding. The red bars used to be a swing-set.
