Marty’s photo of the day #4485: Bonaire has a dry climate, and there are only two tiny freshwater springs in Washington-Slagbaai National Park (which takes up the northern quarter of the island). Those springs were outstanding for birding, and I will be posting quite a few bird portraits from them in the coming weeks. A few days ago, Deb and I were sitting quietly next to the water when this crested caracara (also known as a Mexican eagle) kept coming closer and closer—almost to the point of being able to touch it.
