Malecon Birds

Turkey Vultures
Riding the bike along the Malecon is very enjoyable. Despite the thorough raking of the beaches by a team of Beach Cleaners, waterbirds can often be seen. One of the photo shows a Whimbrel (curved beak) and two Marbled Godwits. The other shows a flock of Turkey Vultures which I hadn't expected to see on the shore. The tide is about halfway in.

  1. Fancy having pots of - is it bouganvillia? - all the way down the jetty
    Enjoy the cruise - should be unadulterated pleasure, no storms or problems.
