Post by: farmer on February 16, 2011, 09:58:17 PM

A few photos from a recent trip to Coco cay, Bahamas.

Is this a stipe - headed Tanager?

Pelican in a pine tree.

This pelican had talent, he could stand on one foot on the branch!

Ok, so this was NOT a bird, but I did find him while looking for birds. I saw 3 large iguanas sunning themselves in a tree!

Is this the same Mocking bird we have here?

Nice pelican!
The first is bananaquit. There are 2 kinds of mockingbirds there, but I think this one is the same one we have.

The bird in the first pic is a Bananaquit. The Northern Mockingbird isn't so northern as thy're all over the Caribbean.
