Hurricane Stops Play

What a weekend to choose to go to Veracruz! Hurricane Karl struck on Friday and destroyed the town of Cardel and the hotel in which I was staying. Needless to say, these weren't ideal conditions for the River of Raptors, and so, on that front, it was a rather disappointing trip.

I only really managed one full days birding in poor conditions. The sites I wanted to get to were cut off - but I nevertheless still grabbed a cheeky 32 lifers and some nice photos.
