Female Broad-tailed Hummingbird at Mexican Sage

This diving grebe is like a duck

The ocean where the penguins feed is waddling distance away

She always prefers flowers to our feeder

In the mangrove swamp where the fishing is good

Rio Grande Valley

in the main part of the park

These Magellanic Oystercatchers were displaying close to our bus

she doesn't seem alarmed by our group of birders

the throat  looks plain black

The white border around it's bill and its smaller size distinguishes it from a Double-crested  Cormorant

I definitely had to contort my body  and risk dropping my equipment in the pond to get this shot
