Cancun, Mexico April 14-20, 2007

This gallery contains photos from my trip to Cancun in April 2007. Lighting was often poor for bird photography, and I don't use a flash. As a result some of the photos have been heavily photoshopped. I have included some rather poor photos for the sake of the interesting subjects. Most photos were taken with the Canon 300D Digital Rebel with either the 300mm IS and 1.4x extender, or the 70-300mm IS zoom. A few of the photos were taken with a Nikon Coolpix 995. The photos of me were taken by Francis Meckevech and Brenda Horner. If I have made any id errors, or if you can help with any of the unidentified creatures, please leave a message or contact me.
