Cozumel – Part 4 – The Birds Of Cozumel

The name Cozumel means swallows nest, but ironically we didn’t see many, if any swallows, at all. We did see a lot of other beautiful birds though. You all know how I love my birds. 🙂

The Great-Tailed Grackles are very common, and we see them all the time. They are cousins to our Common Grackles I see here at home all the time too.

There were lots of Brown Pelicans flying all about. They are slightly smaller than our American White Pelicans who frequent our lakes in the spring.

There were Mexican Vultures.

Sand Pipers or Sanderlings

Parrots

He’s eating his apple, but he doesn’t like the skins. He spits the skins out.

Yellow birds.

Gray and yellow birds.

Tropical Meadowlarks.

Ibis.

And the biggest birds – the planes flying in, with some frigates guiding them to the airport.

Have a great day and make everyday great. I still have plenty more fun things from Cozumel, so stay tuned. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
