Roiling schools of bait fish glide like cloud shadows across Zihuatanejo Bay. Here, as in all of Nature, life's drama reveals itself to the patient eye. Pity the last to join the swarm, for predators ply its edges, where panicked flight sweeps the surface like invisible hands.

Great stuff, Jeff!!!
I saw what looked like a lot of lisa (mullet) in the Boquita Canal this morning, but the birds were all looking for smaller prey.
And no pelicans anywhere. How odd.

We have also noticed an unusual amount of fish activity in the bay. It can be very interesting to watch life on the move.
Actually, I thought the panic you were referri8ng to was the parasail unceremoniously dropped in the bay yesterday. Second we have seen this trip. Fortunately, both times the chute landed in quiet, open water.
Cautionary tales.
