Estero del Yugo (Yugo Estua Nature Reserve)
20 minute bike ride from Fonatur Marina. A small reserve with low tropical deciduous forest and coastal wetland. This type of environment is in danger as it is not valued and is being converted to pasture lands, agricultural fields, and sadly marinas for the increasing cruising North American population.  

Even though Bryan and I caught it during the dry season (lagoons almost dried out) and at mid day(bad time of day for birding), we saw lots of birds and animals. Dusky capped fly catcher, humming birds, orioles, herons, grebes, egrets, cormorants, grackles, social fly catchers, swallows, deer (small, the size of a whippet), and lizards; don't know the names but there were  little orange throat grey spotted ones, larger blue bellied ones and yet larger green ones the size of iguanas.

I had my manual 45mm lens so was too slow to take pictures of moving targets so I got plants. You guessed it, cactus.
