On the far side of the swimming hole, opposite the entrance, was a pathway that led out and into farmland, and eventually to a road.

If it were not for the experienced eye of our guide, birds such as this Juvenile Tiger-Heron would have remained invisible. Our guide had the uncanny ability to spot the most obscure bird at a distance of many meters.

A cow was grazing in a small fenced-in pasture. As it happened, all the birds we saw there were at the far other side of the pasture. Here this cow grazed on native grasses.

The small pasture was surrounded by barbed wire strung between living posts. A small stream ran through this pasture.

A calf was present in the pasture too. It munched on grass growing at the edge of the pasture. The rope around its neck kept it from wandering too far.

Around the far end of the pasture, the path became dryer and was covered with woven palms.

Beyond the gate was a dirt road at the not-to-distant end of which was the street where our van was waiting. It opened on the right and swung away from this camera position and back into the dirt road.
