Presa de Colon

Visited the Presa de Colon on Sunday afternoon for some sailing and windsurfing. Needless to say, I spent a lot of time in the water! Fortunately, there were some decent birds around to cheer me up.

I was pleased to see a good variety of water birds, including 60+ Neotropic Cormorants, an unseasonal Great Blue Heron, lots of Black-crowned Night Herons (breeding nearby?), Cattle, Great and Snowy Egrets, and 3 gorgeous Pied-billed Grebes on the water.

'Farm' Ducks!

In the scrub around the reservoir, I had the usual semi-desert suspects, and a nice bonus, this Ash-throated Flycatcher. Above were up to 7 Turkey Vultures.
