Here are a couple of brief bird movies… the first is of the troupial – it’s a wonderfully colored bird, that has a distinctive voice… it’s too bad this bird is busy munching on a piece of bread, because it is really quite a nice song that he has. It is a type of oriole, and you see them pretty much all over the island. This was taken at Boca Catalina, and four of them were flitting from one divi divi tree to the next.
This second movie is of a pelican. Now, just how close do you think you can get to a pelican? The answer is pretty darned close! Check out how close Pam gets before he takes off!
This was taken while we were in the ocean just off of Boca Catalina beach.

Loved the videos and photos Maurice. What a wonderful vacation you both had and must have done you both the world of good. Love to Pam.
Hey thanks guys! We had a great time at El Gauchos for dinner – you have to give that one a whirl Karen. It’s a great steak place – right in downtown Oranjestad.
Had the keshi yena when we first arrived – it was ok – not as great as I remember! haha

Hi Maurice, first Happy Birthday!! I hope you have a great day! It is nice to been in warm climates for celebrating and I hope you did it in style!
I love the bird videos. We spend a lot of time watching birds in the Caribbean and you got great shots of both. Pelicans are Dick’s fav so it was nice to see them in Aruba.
