Seagull

Out on the beach there are a lot of birds to see.  As I walked along I saw this Seagull coming towards me, as it got closer, it started turning it’s head to watch me.  I waved and said HOLA!

Frigatebird

Cancun, Mexico

I first learned about Frigatebirds on a trip to Hawaii.  My dad knew all about birds, and he taught me some interesting facts about the Frigatebird.  While in Mexico I saw a lot of them.  They are a family of seabirds which are found across all tropical and subtropical oceans.  All have black feathers, long, deeply forked tails and long hooked bills.  Their wings are long and pointed and can span up to 7 1/2 feet, the largest wing area to body weight ratio of any bird.

Salmon-Crested Cockatoo

Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii

We walked thru the Marriott, here in Lihue, and there was this beautiful Cockatoo.  It talked to people, saying ‘Pretty Bird’ and other things, but the funnest was when it said, ‘ALOHA’!

Palisades Reservoir, Idaho

On our way to Jackson Hole, Wyoming we saw a Hawk’s nest on a pole and stopped to take photos.  While taking photos, out of the corner of my eye, I saw another Hawk circling around and I started taking photos of it and then I saw it had a fish in it’s claws, I was so excited!

Palisades Reservoir, Idaho

While traveling to Jackson Hole, Wyoming we saw a nest with a Hawk in it on top of a pole.  We got out to take photos.  As I was taking photos another Hawk flew over the nest and then the two Hawks started talking to each other.  It was so cool!

I was with some friends when I saw a family of geese swimming along, I ran after them to get this photo, so fun!

Pelican Flying By

Fort Pierce Inlet, Fort Pierce, Florida

While our husbands went to Cape Canaveral, my friend Pam and Chelsea and I took a cruise out into the Fort Pierce Inlet, it was beautiful.  As we went along a Pelican came flying past us, luckily I had my camera in my hand!

Cattle Egret

IMG_2339Orlando, Florida

There are lots of birds in Florida and they are beautiful.  There are a lot of Cattle Egret’s, which are a species of herons.  There is something graceful about this bird, both in it’s walk and when it flies.

Wild Turkey

As we drove thru Zion National Park we came across some Wild Turkeys.  I think Turkeys are very interesting birds, not as pretty as Peacocks, but they are similar and have their own beauty.

Love ~ Swans

While strolling around this lake in 2008, I took photos of these Swans and one of them really showed off.  Going to the other swan, they made this heart shape just for me!  Swans, who mate for life, make this heart shape when they are courting.  I LOVE IT!!

Cattle Egert

As we walked along I saw a couple Cattle Egert’s, which you see all over Kauai.  This one waited for me to take it’s photo, so I did, then it flew away.  I think they are beautiful birds, they have an elegance about them!

Rooster

Sea Life Park – Birds

IMG_1435Waimanalo, Oahu, Hawaii

There is an area at Sea Life Park where there are all types of birds, they are gorgeous with their bright colors! You can go in and feed them, take photos of them or just RELAX with them! I chose the latter and slowly sat on this bench, put my feet up and RELAXED! I got a bit nervous as a bunch of them took off because someone was coming towards us!

Ko Olina Lagoons, Hawaii

I sat down and put my feet up & RELAXED as a Common Myna Bird strutted by. You see Myna Birds all over Hawaii, they are pretty, but aggressive and bossy with other birds!

Ducklings Following Mama

IMG_7103

Niederkassel, Germany

As, my friend, Christine and I walked thru the forest and along the Rhein, we saw this mother duck with her ducklings right behind her. No matter where she went or what she did, they stayed in this straight line! Notice the Crane behind them watching for dinner.

Adorable Cygnets

Niederkassel, Germany

After arriving at our friend Christine’s house, we went for a walk along the River Rhine.  It was so lovely and peaceful.  There were Ducks and Swans which we fed.  One of the mother’s and her two babies, Cygnets, stayed back, but finally came over for food.  These little Cygnets were adorable!

Bridge to the Peninsula

Niederkassel, Germany

Here is the walking bridge that takes you over to the peninsula where we walked thru the forest to the River Rhine.  Though this water is apart of the Rhine, the big part of the river, that has river boats on it, is on the other side.  We passed beautiful flowers, swans, other people & had a wonderful time walking thru the forest and along the Rhine!
