Besides seeing the green jays and Altamira orioles, I had in mind seeing the Chachalacas I had heard so much about. While the older birds resemble wild turkeys, the younger ones look a lot more graceful. Chachalacas are found from the southern United States to Central America.
And who doesn't love seeing those bright red cardinals!
Seeing them was like a little taste of my old Midwestern home.
This female cardinal certainly was bright-eyed.

And then there are always plenty of the common grackles to be seen in the Rio Grande Valley. A lot of people detest them, but I haven't come to feel that way so far.
I will surely be coming back to Resaca de la Palma to see more of the lovely birds.
