If you look closely every fence post every tree stem and branch is claimed by one of the many lizards.



Not the size of a Mexican Iguana, they still proudly flash the colorful flap below their throat trying to make a memorable impression when observed.

On the fence to the neighboring hotel I found a lively flock of Banana-quits. Just like my bird-book had described they were busy piercing flowers with their curve shaped beaks. Unlike most nectar feeding animals they just don't play by the rules and avoid the whole getting-dusted-with-pollen and fertilizing business by cracking the petal vault from behind, sucking out the nectar without any benefit to the plant. So cute and yet so sneaky!



I was getting hungry at this point. So I headed back to the hotel room

I'll hand this narrative back over to Daisy..
