Bird Photography Weekly

Last year at this time my sister and I popped over to Bermuda for a long weekend.  The weather was glorious.  We took pink buses around the island to walk pink sand beaches and shop in pink painted shops.  We ate rum cake, swam with the dolphins, tried mopeding, and of course, birded around the island.  One of my target birds was the Long-tailed Tropicbird.  We finally saw many of them the morning we were leaving.  The biggest surprise was that the most common bird on the island was the Great Kiskadee.  They were everywhere!!!  Once you have heard them, even without seeing them, there can be no mistake.

Spider in the Sky

Come into my parlor said the spider to the hiker….

So there I was hiking along the path in Bermuda, la-de-dah, not really paying attention, when I almost became lunch.  Luckily her last meal alerted me and I stopped just before I got entangled and destroyed her handiwork.  Let me tell you, she was a biggin’. She had somehow managed to string her web completely across the path.  I wonder what she was hoping to catch, hmmmm.

I found there were spiders EVERYWHERE in Bermuda.  If you love them.  Go there.
