Plain Chachalaca

Been a long time since I've posted anything. Good to see I still recognize a few names along with a lot of nice shots.

Here is one of mine from a trip to Mexico back in January.

Great Kiskadee

Posted By Robert Watters

Another new one to the list. I think the bird in the background is a female Great-tailed Grackle. I'll post a shot of the male grackle later.
Taken in Mexico back in January and was the first time out with the Better Beamer flash extender. Anyone using one of these? If so what method or settings seems to work best for you?

Great-tailed Grackle

Posted By Robert Watters

Another one from my Mexico trip.
Quite a bit larger than the common Grackle we have around here and much more vocal. This is probably the most vocal bird I've heard as far as the number of different calls (sounds) and the frequency in which they do it. 8O

Great Egret and??

Posted By Robert Watters

These guys were pretty easy pickin since they flew in to all areas of our resort down in Mexico. I've not got a positive ID on the duck but I think it might be a female or juvenile Wood duck. If not let me know.

Comment welcome,

Great Curassow

Posted By Robert Watters

Another from Mexico.
For those that need a scale reference this bird is about 30"-36" tall, similar in size to a wild Turkey.
