Here’s to Walking On The Wild Side!

Shake A Tail Feather

Striking Plumage

The great egret is a large heron.

• An adult has white plumage with contrasting black legs and feet.
• A bright yellow bill, tipped with black.
• A greenish-yellow area between the bill and the eye.
• A long neck.

During the breeding season the great egret displays plumes on its back, which extend up to ten centimeters past the tail. Those plumes are used in courtship displays. Nothing better than shaking a tail feather to attract a mate!

Beauty . . .

Elegance . . .

Once in a Lifetime

Sea Turtle SURPRISE!

To see a sea turtle free and wild is such an AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! Just watching this sea turtle come ashore with its massive shell and overall weight is an impressive sight. I have seen sea turtles in the ocean while wading, but this is a whole new experience to see one come ashore. I will never forget this SURPRISE experience!

So Tired . . . Going to Take a Nap on the Beach

“Isle of Chickens”

Roosters, Hens, Baby Chicks!!!

Kauai is the “Isle of Chickens”! It will become apparent pretty quickly that feral chickens run every where on the island. The Roosters are the kings and the hens are the queens with their chicks following in the royal procession. Enjoy!

Another thing that will become apparent is that the roosters “COCK-A-DOODLE-DOOOOO!” throughout the day.
