Keep those flamingos coming

We thought that the flamingo migration to the breeding grounds in Rio Lagartos had ended but today we heard them honking (they sound like geese) and were treated to them flying overhead and circling around the beach. Chief got these beautiful shots from our deck overlooking the Gulf.I was out swimming a while later and was treated to a fly-over while I was floating around. Pinch, Pinch. A while later, Chief took a ride to the ria ( a swampy area south of us that the flamingos gather in to feed) and saw thousands of them. He has promised me a better picture than the one he took today so look for that in a future post! I can hardly think of a neater sight to see than these beautiful birds flying by our casa. Make sure to click on the top picture for an awesome closeup. Okay, click on the bottom one, too!

Yes, pinch, pinch. It is incredible, isn't it? Flamingos, dolphins, pelicans, and all just off the front steps. :-) Colors are gorgeous in those shots.
