Week Six and Seven: Da Birds


Birdwatching. Cowbirds. Amazement. Kingfishers. Palmchats. Orioles. Kestrels. Hispaniolan Lizard Cukoos. Fun. Excitement. Pelicans. Hispaniolan Woodpeckers. Bananaquits. Adrenaline.

This is birdwatching.

Week six and seven consisted of waking up at 6:45AM, walking with binoculars, looking for birds, looking AT birds, and then talking about them. All in all, I had a great time. It's amazing how different the world looks after one has studied birds for two weeks. For example, from now on whenever I walk around outside, I always hear bird calls that I never even noticed before. It was an interesting class, to say the least, and I learned more than I could have ever imagined.

Enjoy these pictures that Jerry took.
