I'll have to take my long lens next time!

Yeah, they're pretty tall. They look really cool standing high on top of the cacti, sometimes in pairs. Unfortunately, I didn't have a long enough lens with me to capture that.

No one warned us about any danger, but I believe it! Most of our sightings were from inside the car, however. These ones in the sand were pretty chill - hanging out with the pigs near the beach. They didn't want anything to do with people.

They didn't seem dangerous and mostly stayed clear of people, but they certainly have large and powerful beaks, so you probably don't want to get into a fight with one!

Whoa, that's not a chicken! Beware when driving in Curacao - Crested Caracara frequently run across the road like chickens and roosters! Sadly, all my photos are in the shade. According to Allaboutbirds.com#birds

A juvenile Caracara with blue and pink beak looking back toward the camera somewhat sheepishly.

Thank you! I managed to get decent lighting with this one, and the colors popped. I wish got a better angle of its face, but I didn't want to get too close!

Yes! I got quite a few blurry ones in today’s collection.

It took a while, but the little bee finally stopped long enough for a shot! Spotted on Little Island in Manhattan on this perfect fall day. #bees#flowers#photography.
