A Few Pretty Pictures

Early Morning at the Asa Wright Lodge

Dawn from the veranda. Trinidad is a beautiful place.
   

An early-morning woodpecker.

Hungry birds are waiting for the feeders to be put out.
They aren’t left overnight because of the bats.

Hungry birds.



A Very Full Day of Birding

Just a few photos of birds we saw today in an eleven hour trek: too much!

Savanna Hawk

Yellow-Chinned Spinetail

Crested Caracara

Vultures roosting just before a heavy rain shower.

A vulture on the railing by the beach where we ate lunch. OK, I like vultures.

Great bird sightings and photos. An 11 hour trek would be too much for me, I hope there were bathroom breaks. Take care, have a great day!

Eleven hours is a little much. I could handle it because I am used to walking, often quite long distances, but I am sure that for many it was a challenge.

11 hours, hallelujah. Ohhh, the blue one is my fav.
