It's continuing to slowly get hotter,
but still no real rain and no thunderstorms (although Curt and Mary
in Barra de Navidad, about 125 miles south, had one). Days have been
mixed. I've started on doing maintenance coats on the brightwork and
other routine maintenance projects, done some more bird photography
and made a couple of trips into Puerto Vallarta. Outside work has to be done early in the morning before it gets too hot. Most afternoons I
try to escape the heat by soaking in the pool or in the air
conditioning. I've registered online for a two-week Spanish language intensive
in Guadelajara in August, but haven't gotten the confirmation yet.
Well, it's Mexico....

| Look closely and you can see the bug in the beak. |

| A different nest. Might be a kiskadee flycatcher's or an altamira oriole's. |
