Seagull

Long Beach, California

I thought I would walk to the beach.  Well, it was a lot further away than I thought, an hour and a half later I was there.  HA! HA!  I didn’t really notice the time because I was talking on the phone to three of my girl’s.  Once at the beach, I enjoyed every moment I was there and then had Craig pick me up to take me back to our hotel!

Peeking Thru

As we watched this Jaguar, he went into a pool of water and was blocked by the trees and plants.  I walked around until I could see him thru them and took this shot!

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.

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!

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!
