Yucatan Hummingbirds

So the last post and what better way to finish with what I think of as the iconic bird family of the Americas - Hummers!

Canivets Emerald


Cinnamon Hummingbird




Wedge-tailed Sabrewing

and finally Mexican Sheartail

 







and the obligatory sunsets with Pelicans


So that was our Mexican trip and these are my final thoughts - easy travelling and navigating on good roads but watch petrol station attendants who don't zero back the pump we were had! take enough cash everything was expensive and we struggled to find a cashpoint which worked, take insect repellant mosquitoes everywhere and we would strongly recommend carrying Beealert(see earlier post), take a fieldguide to North American warblers as these are not covered in Mexican fieldguide.  It was a breath of fresh air to see that there is still somewhere in the world that has vast quantites of forest cover lets hope it stays that way - the people are friendly and the birding is fabulous we recommend that you go!
