Kate and I walked about 90 minutes along the beach, then waded through some of this crystal clear water for another 10 minutes, to reach these wild pink flamingos.
They are sleek and pink - on our approach they took to the air and flew to a safer distance about 40 meters from where we stood.
Holbox Island included the flamingos, plus so many other birds. It was a real treat.
I love the way the two birds in the center of the photograph came out here.
Every morning the birds waited for the local fishermen to arrive and then swarmed on any dead fish or scraps from the morning's catch.
These pelicans loved to dry sun themselves on these posts protruding out of the water.
Another pelican perched atop one of the lights located on the pier.
Like a number of people enjoying the sunset from the pier, this pelican was also a part of the spectacle.
Some other birds join the pelican on the posts.
This crane(?) enjoying the tide on his bare feet.
