Carrie and I were expecting a big birding day in acupulco today, but we got another reminder that what cruise ships consider, "birding" is different from what we consider "birding". We did see some good birds though. My favorite was the Yellow-winged Cacique. We also saw the White-throated Magpie Jay which is different from the Magpie Jay we saw in the Tijuana Slough Preserve a month ago. I have attached a photo of what we believe is a juvenile Tiger Heron. That was the guides I.D. But he also called a Bittern a Blue Heron, later in the trip. Acupulco is very beautiful. It's surrounded by high mountains. We had a great time but wish we had more time birding and less time in the bus! The next 24-48hrs are sea days before arriving in Costa Rica, where we are signed up to do a canopy tour!
