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!

Mexican Cowboy

Xcaret, Mexico

I was amazed at the talent of these Mexican Cowboys we watched!  To ride a horse while swinging their lasso and not tripping the horse, was awesome!

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’!

Leaving the Water

Near Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

We were driving along when someone in our car spotted him, a moose.  We saw him in the water, there he ate, had a drink and then left the water.

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!

This little guy was as curious about me as I was about him.  There are a lot of squirrels in Florida!

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.

Bunny on Easter

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!!
