Probably my biggest disappointment about Baja, Mexico was all of the trash and grafitti. The pond that this egret, a duck and a small grebe were swimming in was full of old beer bottles, plastic bags and other sundry trash. Oddly enough, I don't know if the trash is a result of Americans with their careless habits coming down to the Baja or if the Mexican Citizens just don't care about what would otherwise be a stunningly beautiful wildlife habitat. I suspect that it is a bit of both. The birds appear to survive in spite of it and their resilience is pleasant reminder that nature manages to get by even with our plastic bags and old beer bottles.
