Definitely one of the highlights of my weekend was seeing these big boys. There's no doubt that this one in particular is one of my favourite birds..
The Magnificent Frigate is a class act, and certainly a lot more graceful than these lumps...
There were about 30 Brown Pelicans roosting on a sandbank in the rivermouth at Chachalacas. Alongside them were a Little Blue Heron, a Royal Tern, and a fine selection of waders.
