A short while before breakfast, one of our fellow travelers, Barbara Shanks, pointed out a nest in the trees behind the open-air area where we ate.  We were able to find an area where we could see the nest more clearly, and watched the male and female of this pair coming and going, building their nest as we had seen with so many bird species during this trip.
