Busy

It's been a busy past week or so.   We took a vacation to Aruba and I got to see some tropical birds. The little Banaaquits were my favorite.  They are tame,  small sugar loving yellow and black sparrow type birds.

They also have Grackles called Carib Grackle and a Tropical Mockingbird, both very similar to ours

Our resident Mute Swans had 6 babies, I just spotted them this morning

After we got home, there was a deceased whale washed up near Providence.  Mind you we are about 40 miles from the ocean, but Narragansett Bay links the ocean to us.
