Hi friends, this morning while out working on the new trail with Aimee and Junior this big Cara-Cara landed very nearby to check out what was going on. Here is Curacao and only in Curacao they are called Wara-Wara’s. For once I was smart enough to pack my camera because I have been seeing these big carnivorous birds now every time I am out there so I figured today is the day to start photographing them. I was able to walk directly under the tall cactus he was sitting on with the dogs at my side and he could have cared less, it was great! These birds are magnificent hunters feeding mostly on lizards, iguanas and rabbits but are known to eat just about anything especially fresh road kill. They make the strangest noise I have ever heard from a bird and is very difficult to put into words. Aimee and I have learned to recognize all the different bird calls on the island which makes finding these guys and others a lot easier.
The new trail is a day away from being open and finished! We got so much done in three hours this morning, it makes such a difference when you have a crew all doing something different. My plan is to finish it up on Sunday and have the Grand Opening the following weekend, I will keep you posted.
Two of the puppies still need a home and ASAP as Aimee leaves for the States in June and I can not watch them all myself. Our worse case plan is to find and pay someone to take care of them while Aimee is gone so please help us out if you can, they are incredible puppies!!
I went for a fast one hour bike ride at 5:00 but didn’t seem to have much energy mostly because it was just so hot! The island is still looking pretty green but is in need of another big rain in order to keep it this way.
Long day it’s off to bed, be back tomorrow, Barry
