Today I visited the Xamen-Ha bird sanctuary. It was alright. I left frustrated and angry at the birds. I definitely learned that I don’t enjoy bird photography one bit. Im a pretty patient kinda guy, but birds require more patience that I have. To much sitting and waiting, and birds don’t like to sit still for very long – unless they are in the worst spot possible for me to take a shot then they can sit there all day. They can also move far to quickly from one place to another making me look like a fool chasing them around the jungle.
Anyways – here are the few photos that I got. I had a few stiff drinks when I got back to the resort.
Also, whats with those certain older men in their 50′s or 60′s who sit around the pool bar with their friends hovering and hanging around and says to the bartender, “Hey, whats the FINEST tequila ya got?”, the bartender responds with “Jose Cuervo, it’s the best there is!”, the orangey tanned man then says, “That’s what I wan’t! Only the finest for my friends! Give me 5 shots! Here’s 5 pesos.”. Dude, you’re not impressing anyone – it’s an all-inclusive resort! And way to tip the bartender 50 cents.
Anyways…back to the photos!
















Beautiful Erik! You will need to come and take photos of my two birds – obviously you know what you’re doing! I love the toucan and the macaw and I am very jealous of you right now. My whole vacation would be there.
Great job Erik, it looks like you faired pretty well to me. I particularly enjoy the Toucan shots.
Post some more Mexico!
LOL about the tequila comment. At least he should tip them a few american dollars..come on.
