Yesterday I returned from my service project in Acapulco, Mexico.<\/p>\n

We were working with an orphanage there, and my time was pretty filled up with that.<\/p>\n

However, in the mornings I was able to walk along the streets around the campus and see what birds I could find.<\/p>\n

I found four new life birds on the trip: Bare-throated Tiger-Heron, Dusky-capped Flycatcher, Audubon’s Oriole, and Rufous-naped Wren.<\/p>\n

Flycatchers are everywhere there. You can’t hardly walk outside without seeing\/hearing Social Flycatchers, Great Kiskadees and Tropical Kingbirds. I’ve taken lots of pictures of these birds, but I never tire of taking more.<\/p>\n

The Rufous-naped Wren was the one lifer I was able to photograph. It’s not the best photo in the world, but I’ll take it for now.<\/p>\n

Other common birds in the area were Ruddy-ground Dove, Gray-breasted Martin, and Cinnamon Hummingbird. Someone across the street has a hummingbird feeder, and so there were other hummingbirds around.<\/p>\n
