Riviera Maya, Mexico
As we watched this Jaguar, he went into a pool of water and was blocked by the trees and plants. I walked around until I could see him thru them and took this shot!

As I went for my morning walk I noticed a fenced off area, so I went over to see what was on the other side. There I saw these little guys, baby Sea Turtles!
In the morning they collect the turtle eggs from the beach and then they put them back into the sand within the fence. They place a sign on top of the mound of sand with the date they were found. After 2 months they dig them up and then at night they put them back into the sea. One of the great predators of Sea Turtles are Seagulls, who eat the baby Sea Turtles as they go to the sea. I saw a number of fenced off areas as I walked along the beach, I think this is awesome!

Cancun, Mexico
I first learned about Frigatebirds on a trip to Hawaii. My dad knew all about birds, and he taught me some interesting facts about the Frigatebird. While in Mexico I saw a lot of them. They are a family of seabirds which are found across all tropical and subtropical oceans. All have black feathers, long, deeply forked tails and long hooked bills. Their wings are long and pointed and can span up to 7 1/2 feet, the largest wing area to body weight ratio of any bird.
