May 15
Yesterday we invited folks from s/v Eagle over for sun downers. We had spoken on the radio several days ago and they parked near us. Over the course of a few hours we got to know each other and shared stories of our adventures. Tom & Jeanne are from the Seattle area and this is their first year cruising in Mexico. They are both photographers, amongst other things, and Tom loves to find rare birds to digitally capture, and add to his "Life List". Several weeks ago they were in Agua Verde. Tom was exploring the town and finding several new to him birds. A young boy came along and watched him for a while and Tom tried in his limited Spanish to say "Aves Foto...". Soon Tom was working his way around a tree with a Vermilion Flycatcher in it. After getting several good shots, he realized the boy had wandered off, but a short time later reappeared with a mangy chicken under his arm. Tom did take a portrait, but the bird was not added to his life list...
