Another question though - what’s the plant?

Bill’s probably right here, though the beak looks a bit heavy for a jay to me. Regarding Steve’s point though - the bill of a Yucatán jay apparently changes over time - it’s yellow on juveniles, and black on adults. I don’t recall any other bird changing in that way.

Now that’s brilliant. Looks like it was inspired by E.E. Cummings.

I can easily imagine accumulations of hundreds/thousands of abandoned towels at the bottom of the pool.

Probably... Sometimes I wonder if some of these almost alike birds are interbreeds.

Somewhat puzzling... Lacks the black cap of a kiskadee... Maybe a tropical kingbird?

The AC was great. Most hotels we have stayed in this time round have this type of AC and it generally seems to work quite well.
