When I was
looking around Caravanserai at the end of June, I also took a few pictures of birds that I saw and thought I'd put them up separately.
I think these rocky coastline areas are favored by certain types of birds - I'll have to remember to have my camera handy next time I go back there to see if I can spot more.
See? There is a pelican. OK wait, here is a zoomed in picture:
That brown bird is a brown booby. This was the first time I have seen one in St. Maarten.
I wanted to have a pep rally for this guy. Live and thrive brown booby! I hope to see lots more like you!

I love boobies!!!! I've seen one at oyster pond and another at the waterfront in Marigot. Always just 1 though, i wonder if it's the same one
Hi Gigi! I wonder if they are solitary type of birds or there just aren't enough of them around here for traveling in groups? They are wonderful :)
Oh that's funny that this place is called Beacon Hill as we have that here in our city too.
Love seeing all types of different birds and love taking pics of birds as well. All so beautiful!!!
The software you asked about is called PicNik and go to .com to find it.. It's cheap and great!
Your comment made me wonder - why are so many places called "Beacon Hill"?

Oh! Right! Beacons are actual things! It makes sense - the area called Beacon Hill on this island is close to the water and surrounded by rocky outcroppings - certainly warning lights would have been useful for anyone out on a boat...
Thanks for the software tip!
