On our recent trip to Curaçao, we took our new camera out for a spin and played around with the zoom lens. There are so many fantastic birds and other creatures on the island, just waiting to be photographed! Here are a few.
Green sea turtle
Hermit crabs on Klein Curaçao
This little sparrow visited us at breakfast.
Racerunner lizard. His tail looks like someone laid it with tiny tiles.
Venezuelan troupial, in the magpie family
Another, more orange troupial
A bananaquit. These birds are everywhere in Curaçao, and they’re addicted to sugar.
Bananaquit feeding frenzy
These flamingos were at least 200 yards away.
This falcon mural is painted on a building in Punda.
Musical bananaquits
This guy posed for me just as a Curaçao Navy vessel was going by.
