When I look up, I see a variety of sea birds plying the sky -- pelicans, cormorants, and one very striking species of red-billed frigatebirds. These last are the most noble looking creatures, but I hear they often dine by stealing the food of other birds. Looks, apparently, are no guarantee of morality (see Sarah Palin for the human example).<BR/><BR/>Today we'll rent a catamaran and ply the coves hereabouts. There are approximately 120 species of birds, all kinds of terns and spoonbills and so forth. This is a birders' paradise and I only wish I had my guidebook with me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2526736757651414061.post-75171120070080716552008-09-22T23:37:00.000+01:002008-09-22T23:37:00.000+01:00This is all most disturbing.
