It's beginning to look as though the local critters
Are trying to move in on us here...
This mongoose was sighted slinking around the front garden a couple days ago...
(Ruben's photo)
We've had a No. cardinal pair at the front feeders,
I think this is their offspring...either that or a rebellious, mohawked female...
Ok so maybe she's molting...
The java sparrows are always dining at the coconut shell feeders all morning,
I feed them around 6:30 AM daily...they get pretty restless by then...
We do have occasional, brief visits from a ruddy turnstone...
(Besides the wandering tattler)...
And the black crabs appear fairly often,
patrolling the sea wall...
Then there's Smokey...
The neighborhood cat...
We feed him ea. morning and evening...
It was a part of our training,
Feeding the birds and Smokey that is...
We only see him those 2 times a day...
The geckos continue to scout bugs in the front office area...
This one is filling in my position for me,
Looking to check a new guest in....
And is currently residing at Room 101's lanai...
When it isn't waddling around the back lawn or along the seawall.
Don't know why, but it actually surprised me to see a Northern Cardinal in Hawaii, Jann. Guess I only think of them as our regional bird. Your environment there is so different from the Black Hills...from a great expanse of grass and hills to sand and ocean waves. ☺
ReplyDeleteQuite the menagerie you have there! I too was surprised to see a Northern Cardinal in Hawaii. It must be fun to watch all the local wildlife throughout the day. I love those little Java Sparrows in the coconut shells. It's always nice to be greeted by a friendly gecko face ... very cute! Terrific photographs, as always!
ReplyDeleteHi Jann,
ReplyDeleteLovely to see all the varied wildlife around the hotel. I particularly like the idea of being checked in by a Gecko.
BTW thanks for dropping by ... it is always good to hear from you.
