While walking between the islands, I noticed a pelican walking up the causeway from the water. I assume it was injured to some extent, as it allowed me to walk right up for this picture.

An interesting note is that for our entire stay along the coastal regions of Panama, we saw not a single gull. Pelicans rule here; they are everywhere along the coast to the exclusion of sea-gulls. You also see frigate birds circling high, which are a beautiful bird, but no gulls...must not be enough garbage dumps to keep them interested.....
