Business took me to Mexico in late February, but I managed to arrange a
couple of days for birding in the Yucatan. The highlight was a
spectacular army ant swarm at Coba; we were lucky to come up on it just
as the swarm was starting, and the best part was that for 50 meters or
so, it marched parallel to the old road, allowing for spectacular
viewing and photos of the 14 species of birds that were attending the
swarm. The other highlight was Chichen Itza, which is one of the "new"
Seven Wonders of the World. Viewing conditions were optimal, and I have
some great postcard-quality pics from there (these are towards the end).
I've posted photos at two places (click on the Yucatan gallery at each
site):
http://csloan.smugmug.com
http://www.pbase.com/csloan
The same photos are in both places. I am evaluating both sites (now
that they both support geotagging) to decide which one to use long term
for all my photos. If you are so inclined to check out both, I'd
appreciate your opinions.
