Petit St. Vincent (July 23-27)

Goldentail moray eel (Jul 24, 2004, 11:49am) We saw a lot of eels on this vacation. Here is the head of one goldentail moray eel. He clearly does not want me around since he is protecting most of his body in the reef and giving me threatening looks. (Now if the camera would just autofocus on the eel and not the reef behind it.)

Grackle in a tree, eyeing our picnic lunch (Jul 24, 2004, 01:10pm) Before we went in for our snorkel, we ordered lunch. While we were in the water, the staff picked up our lunch order and brought lunch to our beach hut at 1:00pm. Easting lunch at the beach is a common activity at Petit St. Vincent, and the local birds know it. In this tree you can see a grackle waiting patiently for us to turn aawy so he can steal some food. If you look closely at the picture you may also notice two other birds as well.
