Marty’s photo of the day #4513: This is Seru Grandi in Bonaire’s Washington-Slagbaai National Park. When I first came across this geological formation, I was confident that I’d seen it before in some epic movie. I’m not sure which movie, however. The lower layer of this formation is 210,000 years-old, and the top layer is […]
Marty’s photo of the day #4497: There are only two tiny freshwater springs in Washington-Slagbaai National Park on the island of Bonaire. This yellow warbler was the most challenging bird to photograph at the first spring. It would come in, grab a sip of water, and take off—seemingly all in one continuous motion.

At midday, we found an out-of-the-way picnic table and enjoyed a delightful lunch, accompanied by thirty or so blauw-blauw (six-inch-long whiptail lizards with bright blue tails).

While Deb and I were staking out one of those springs earlier in our trip, this black-crowned night heron flew in to join us. Today we are headed back to Washington-Slagbaai National […]
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 […]
