Title: A few from Mexico
Post by: Dinusaur on January 05, 2016, 07:50:28 PM

Though it was a vacation I did find some time to walk around the resort in Tulum, Mexico and ended up getting a few photos of the local birds. These ones I could identify myself after looking up in the internet.

1. Ferruginous Pygmy Owl. From a distance I thought it was a sleeping dove, after zooming in I realized that it was an Owl. The talons are relatively big compared to its body size.
