TURKEY VULTURE

Never got fed up of the Turkey Vultures in Cuba



YELLOW CROWNED NIGHT HERON

Always on bridge between two hotels early morning.

TURKEY VULTURE

Just off for Breakfast outside the French Resturant


RED LEGGED THRUSH

A very flighty bird, two kept coming to the cake we put out, but would fly off  and sit in the canopy if they saw anyone. This bird was in the woodland outside Sol Rio de Luna and came out while pisshing for Warblers.
