Thru my Lens: Exotic birds of Honduras

Last week we went to the Western Caribbean on a 7-day cruise. Wednesday we were in Roatan, Honduras. This was my favorite port of the trip. Maybe because, I had already been to the others before and this port was "new" to me, or perhaps it was because of the rolling hills, green trees and jungles everywhere. We hired a driver who took us all over the island. He took us to what was suppose to be an Exotic Butterfly Garden. I was very disappointed. The butterflies were not "Exotic" or beautiful by any means. We did however, get to see some amazing birds. While in the enclosed butterfly area, out of no where a Toucan zoomed right by. We were totally caught off guard and did not expect it at all. Wow, the bird was beautiful. They didn't like us getting too close, so it was a little hard catching a decent picture of them.

After watching the Toucans fly around, we left the butterfly area and proceeded to the bird area. We saw some more beautiful birds, Parrots and Macaws to name a few. The colors of the birds were simply amazing. (God is an awesome Creator!) One of the birds loved picking at Brad's hat and backpack as he was walking around the area.

More pictures from our vacation to come. Check back soon!

Alex being very still while the bird sits on his arm. At least the bird did not "pee" on him like the monkeys did in Costa Maya---stay tuned, that story to come later.
