Hawk


This large hawk flew in at dusk. We estimate he is about 30 inches, at least twice the size of the sharpshined hawks that are more common on the lake. We weren't able to identify what type of hawk he was. Maybe he's an eagle.

Special Caribbean Issue


While Lake Nelson has it charms, sometimes people and birds require warmer climates and turquoise waters. We spent a week in St. Vincent and the Grenadines on two islands (Petit St. Vincent and Palm Island). Here are some the birds we encountered.

This duck was in a lagoon in the middle of Palm Island, SVG. It took some time searching on the internet, but we eventually identified it as a blue-winged teal on vacation in Palm Island, SVG. We prefered the caribbean waters, but they liked the lagoon.

Fantastic pics! I submit that the "sandpiper" is a ruddy turnstone.

Special Caribbean Issue: Unidentified Bird

We have not yet been able to identify this bird. Please leave a comment if you can.





This is a small bird, about 2 inches. We called it the complaining bird, because it would stop near our cottage and let out a scream while the other birds would sing and have some crumbs.

I think it is a Grassquit
