Birding With Miguel

This morning our guide, Miguel, picked us up at dawn for a couple hours of bird watching on the Rio de San Ignacio. Toni and Kai are the serious birders, so Miguel paddled their canoe while they used their binoculars and cameras.

Donna and I paddled a double kayak through the light morning mist hanging over the water. Miguel had looked through our english-written bird guide the night before, identifying local birds by their pictures. He then indexed the pages so we could read about the birds as he pointed them out.
